LaughingHorse Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Is there a way to ban customers and/or entire countries?I'm looking at doing it via .htaccess because I did not see anything to be able to do it in CC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayz1 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) What's your reason for wanting to do this?You can ban a single IP address by using the IP Address Deny Manager in cPanel but depending on why you want to ban someone may not be very effective.If you want to block an entire country take a look at http://incredibill.me/htaccess-block-country-ips Edited January 14, 2016 by ayz1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Ban? From total access to your site, or just from buying anything?Maybe Apache has a module for this? In my environment, I have a firewall appliance take care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaughingHorse Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 ayz1 the reason is we have never in 20 years received a single legitimate order from Nigeria. Instead, all we have gotten are scams, scammers, and fraudulent orders from a-holes who are trying to verify fake credit card numbers costing us time, effort and money. bwmither, yeah, I will use Apache directives.

ayz1 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yeah had same problems ourselves. Have a look at Cloudflare they can ban an entire country and give you other protection also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Most, if not all, modules' settings screen have a Zones tab where you can allow/disallow countries. Nigeria is NG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
