IP blocking - Tech Support Forums

green-eyed · April 22nd, 2004, 11:44 AM

Hello,

1) Is it possible to block a specific IP number from accesing my weblog ? What should I add to the template ? Could you please recommend any java scripts or something. And please note, that the weblog is not hosted on my own server, so the only thing I can do is to modify the HTML.

2) How to prevent someone using a dial - up connection from accesing my site ?

3) Is it possible to make it impossible to connect to the site through a proxy - server (it would strenghten the ban).

4) How to prevent people from seeing and copying my source code ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

A reply for #4

Since you have HTML only that you can edit, there is a way to block right clicking with a java script I think. But that will not stop the intermediate user. I do not believe (This is me talking) that there is a way to prevent someone from getting into your source code... There are tricks to help keep them away, but its just not going to make the source code safe.

Now if anyone else would input, maybe there is a way? From what I have learned, there is not a way to 100% block the source from being seen, gotta think, the browser has to see it.

If your host allows use of .htaccess you can put apache directives in there (if its hosted on apache)

Same as above but you would need a list of what IPs/networks you wanted to block.

Block the proxy servers IP as above

Not sure on this, but all the things that disable right click are worthless, AFAIK there is no way to do this for HTML.

Thanks.

The weblog is hosted on blogspot (blogger) ... and so I cannot do anything except for modifying the HTML... Nevertheless, I wonder if I could upload an ip-blocking program (e.g. written in php) to my own server and then paste something including an appropriate link into the blog template ? Would it work ?

I got the following javascripts :

Quote:

--- I) <script language="javascript">
var ip = ''
if (ip == '206.186.23.178') {
alert("STOP! You are viewing this page from an IP address that is not allowed!");
alert("Why can't you guys just leave me alone?");
if (confirm("Do you want to leave peacefully? Or will I have to help you?"))
{location.href="http://www.yahoo.com" } else { ("OK you choose I don't care! Bye bye! Don't come back!"); {location.href="http://www.yahoo.com" }} }
</script>

--- II)



<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">






';

//add as many ip's below as you wish.
if (ip == "x.x.x.x" || ip == "x.x.x.x") {

//if you wish to change the alert message, do so below.
alert("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Attentio n!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nYour ip address \("+ip+"\) has been banned!");
history.go(-1);
window.location.replace("http://javascript.internet.com/")
}
}
ban();
// End -->
</script>

but, unfortunately they simply don't work

(((

And - I wonder if it is possible to disable proxies ? As you probaby know - there are sites, which one view connect through a proxy. I sometimes get the message "this type of connection is not supported". So I concluded: there must be a way - at least in case of transparent proxies.

And what is .htaccess ?

http://apache-server.com/tutorials/A...-htaccess.html

It is basically a way to apply apache directives/configurations to your directory only and not the whole server.
