Blocking Entire Countries In IIS
Jul 23, 2009
I have come across an issue where traffic from India is hurting my business. What I have is a number of job boards. Realistically, the only issue I am having is with IT and Engineering positions being applied for heavily by people in India. Since my customer base is all in the USA, I would like to just block India.
While I know this is easy with Apache using a .htaccess file, I am using IIS on server 2007. Does anyone have any idea on how to do this easily with the large number of IPs that India uses?

I'm tired of india people hitting our website (because it is a top hit on google and the others) then calling the next day to bug me to use them for outsourcing.
I am going to block some IP blocks in my .htaccess file to prevent this.
I can see from my statcounter logs that the hits from india so far have come from 59.* 102.* and 203.* (as in 59.###.###.###).
Is there a place I can lookup to find out if I block those, will I will also be blocking some north america IPs (since I'm using such a broad wildcard)?
All our paying business comes from north america.
my htaccess file will look like this:
Code:
# prevents a directory listing when typing in the directory path in the browser
Options -Indexes
#
# My effort to keep india sites from seeing our website
order allow,deny
deny from 203.
deny from 59.
allow from all

I was wondering we use ConfigServer Security & Firewall for our firewall and was wondering how we can go about blocking certain countries from being able to access our servers, mainly Korea, China and Russia?

Recently I have been putting thought into creating an online storefront for my web hosting business. I stopped advertising online and even having a website for a good 8 months and built my business on local companies in my area.
I just read a thread regarding an Indonesian who says he can't get hosting because his country is black listed. I need information on other countries that web hosts block and don't allow orders from. I want to provide to the middle east, I am writing a great T.O.S. and A.U.P. but I am also looking for some advice on how to prevent fraud from happening to me.
My ideas are a phone call to the potential customer, and a faxed copy of there photo ID.
So could you please list some countries I should be weary about dealing with and some ways to prevent fraud.

When I talked to the Support for my vps the said:
Abdulla,
We cannot really control if some countries can load the VPS or not, it is indeed up. We can try a reboot though, give me just a moment.

This is sort of the opposite of "how can I ban _____ country".
I think it would be easier to ALLOW countries selectively, and deny any contact from anywhere else.
Is something like this feasible without using an offsite script?
I realize this would not have any effect on those using proxies or offshore ISPs.

I have a webpage and currently hosted in the Philippines
It can be accessed by countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines
However Singapore is having a problem accessing it. We tried different accounts, different ISPs, even on Cafes, Laptops, wi-fi but cannot access it
It says:
Standard message:
The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings
Should this be a webhosting problem?

Is web hosting in other countries a good choice if you need more bandwidth?
My german is not very good but for 23 euros a YEAR you get 12 GB space and unlimited traffic. Is that what it really says? Good deal?
www(dot)all-inclusive-webspace(dot)de
Would hosting in japan or korea or some really well connected country make your web hosting dollars go further if you need bandwidth?

This is not strictly a technical issue with our server as such, but this subforum still seemed most relevant. If not, please move the thread to a better suited one.
Bizarre problem: in the last 2-3 days, visitors from certain countries (France, Holland, Serbia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Montenegro) are having difficulties in reaching our website hosted on cari.net. However, other countries (USA, UK, Germany, Russia) don't seem to have this problem at all. The server itself is a-OK.
The website hosts an IPB forum. The problem is that every so often (very often), upon clicking on a link, the browser hangs on "connecting", and often times out and returns a Bad Request message. Sometimes, when a clicked link that's waiting is refreshed, it immediately loads the page up quickly, as if nothing is wrong.
We cannot call our hosting company, as it's really nothing to do with them, the server works perfectly, it's just that traffic from certain countries has difficulties to get through a certain level3.net node in the USA (that is where tracert usually breaks down, or gets through after several attemtps).

I figure while I am twiddling my thumbs here waiting for my host to tell me what the heck happened for the second time in two or three months why they have to do an entire VPS hard restart, which of course causes another hour of fck delays, that I'd ask some of the more skilled and experience folks here, how?
Just before it happened, as I was watching, the load shotup over 1, 2, 4, 20, 30 boom. (I opened a ticket at 4)
Shouldn't virtuozzo always guarantee a certain amount of cpu and bandwidth to the node root? Why do they have to hard reboot and not access it directly and stop the badly behaving vps? Better yet, why isn't the badly behaving vps stopped automatically by virtuozzo?
(oh and am I an idiot for putting up with over two hours of downtime?)

I always use Apache and it's easy to redidrect an entire domain in the htaccess.
Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain1.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [url]$1 [R=301,L]
For a site I'm working on I need to achieve the same thing with IIS but have no idea how to and the technician claims it can't be done. Surely, that's not the case. Any ideas?
By the way I want the exact same effect as the above not just a generic redirect that sends everthing to the home page of the new domain.

how to ban an entire top-level domain? For example ban everyone from Russia by coming from the .ru domain? Or everyone from Lithuania by somehow banning everyone coming from .It ip address.
I've had some people from those places try to hack my site and am fed up with it. So I want to ban those two entire countries for the time being using cPanel X's "IP Deny Manager".
By the way I am not a technical person. Just your every day person running a site.

we dont host our own website, but recenty our server crashed, and our hosting provider was supposed to be backing things up. They told us that the entire server crashed and the backups were on the same server so we lost everthing. we actually did end up getting evertying back but it took nearly a week to get back online. they said they are now backing up everthing in a remote location so this wont happen again, but we dont want to put this in their hands anymore, we didnt even get everything back .htaccess, hidden files, subdomains were not backup up and lost. So we want to do our own backing up.
Is there some thing I can set up as a cron task to weekly automatically backup every single file on the server, and the database?
We think this would be very beinificial to us as we lost alot of money from this ordeal and we do not want it to happen again.

Just got off the phone with tech support and they noticed that someone was trying to gain brute force entry to our VPS. We want to view our logs but can only see the last 250 lines or so when using this command inside putty:
tail -9000 /var/log/messages
How do we see / copy the entire 9000 entries to view in a text editor? Any tips would be great. I am a newbie at this.

The backup program (cpbackup) that comes with WHM/Cpanel is not ideal for our current situation. We have lots of third party applications installed on our server along with many customized configuration files. We need a solution that will backup everything and allow for fairly simple restoration.
How viable is rsync for full server backups? Can it handle 100 GB of data?
More importantly, how would you restore the backup to a new server? If the new server already has an OS the restored files would break the system, right?

Yet another question for you all. As part of my remit I need to work out power usage across the DC. It's not huge. Approx 300 servers across 50 physical servers (BL7000c with BL46x series blades) as well as several sans/disk arrays (DotHill, HDC, HP MSA) and appliances, Ciscos, POE 8xxx series procurves etc)
All these are racked up and being fed from 32Amp APC PDUs (without monitoring). It's three phase in, single phase out. We can't really run 3 phase because I am not allowed to run it due to the 6 foot rule.
Our UPS is rated at 30KVA but we are running it at the max at around 24KVA.
What I need to do, is work out on an individual basis how much power each one draws, ideally without a power down. The reason, as well as identifying the power hogs (such as several SUN V series servers), is to reduce the overall carbon footprint and energy costs.

to get a copy of their entire site onto our servers.
The problem is that they have no backups, and their current host has denied them access to their account. (It's a long story.)
Rather then try and fight with their old host, I wonder if it's easier to just run some kind of "website copy" program and grab a copy of all pages and images, linked files, etc..
Their current website pages are served using an ASP database application, but the copy they need only has to work. It doesn't need to be dynamic, etc... as long as all the pages are there it's good.

I'm contemplating creating a website that could store extremely sensitivity information. It's more than likely that a MySQL database would house this information.
My question is. Does anybody have any experience when it comes to encrypting an entire server disk?
I've searched online with disappointing results.
