FZ Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Over the past day or two my site is being overrun by Chinese search bots. Currently there are about 380 "active users", all of who's IP addresses seem to resolve to somewhere in China. Is there a way of preventing these bots?

bfarber Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 There are multiple ways, the best being a server-level (or CDN level, if you use something like Cloudfront) firewall where you simply block the offending visitors. Next up would be generic IP address blocks at the .htaccess (or nginx-equivalent) level, followed by IP address blocks at the software level.

FZ Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 I will have to investigate how to do that. Thanks for the tips. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
