Blocking Baidu

(1/2) > >>

movierchives:
I've tried blocking Baidu but its but its being the bot from hell.  I need it blocking because its constantly got between 11 and 20 bots on my site at once, they never leave.

I've tried blocking its IP range


--- Code: ---Deny from 188.143.128.0-188.143.255.255
--- End code ---

I've added the robot text


--- Code: ---#Baiduspider
User-agent: Baiduspider
Disallow: /

--- End code ---

Hell I've got China blocked on Cloudflare but does that stop these ruddy bots, hell no  :-\

MrPhil:
I don't think this is the right syntax:

--- Code: ---Deny from 188.143.128.0-188.143.255.255
--- End code ---

Try

--- Code: ---Deny from 188.143.
--- End code ---
if you don't mind blocking 1-127 in the third octet. There might be a way to block a range of octets (perhaps

--- Code: ---Deny from 188.143.128-255.
--- End code ---
) might work. I'm sure you can google some resources on how to use .htaccess to deny IP ranges.

movierchives:
Thanks, the varous websites I've seen say that's the way to block a range

I have tried  blocking ranges by doing 37.*.*.* but this hasn't worked either, Russian spammers

busterone:
in .htaccess try - 
Deny from 188.143
Deny from 37


no dot at the end of the ip range

movierchives:
I've just done it directly in the cpanel ip blocker and their still there  :-\
