phpknight Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 If I ban the Asia Pacific Network from my site 222.*.*.*, will that make it difficult for anybody in the U.S. to reach my site? I would not think so, but I thought I should double-check since I could not find out too much about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Yes - that will ban a TON of people from reaching your site. For example with geoip, 222..90.50.* and 222..90.55.* is a private network and could be anywhere IMO. Also - people can simply come through one of the many many webproxies out there (google translator even!) to reach your site. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpknight Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Okay, so you mean it might even ban somebody in the United States? The reason I ask is that I am having a few server issues, and I noticed 222 IPs a lot and started checking out. Plus, our the site only ships in the U.S. due to postal costs, so I thought banning that would ban a certain region (Asia-Pacific) of the world might help the issue. Where am I off here?

steviewdr Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Im just saying that if someone is "at" your website etc. they can easily go through one of the random internet proxies available. See/google onion routing. I would install iptables on your server, and log all connections for a week or so to see exaclty what ip is accessing what port on your server.
