Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 14, 20205 yr 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?
January 14, 20205 yr 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.
