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?
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?
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.
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
what CCtlds/GenTLDs do you know of that offer Zonefiles? I know com/net/org/info/biz, and I know that f.ex Germany/UK/Sweden doesnt offer any - but what else? Perhaps there is a list/directory somewhere?
I am receving calls from some countries or areas when they say they can not access my site ( site can not be found)
I called my provider and they say every thing is alright from their site and from my side too but some areas in other countries like right now I received a call from canada they can not access my site my provider wants me to send Tracert
I can ask my friends to send that but not every user why this happanes and what tools are available to check and see if my site is alright from all areas or counties?
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
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 am experiencing a strange problem with iptables: after in activate them, they are gone in a few minutes. For example, I drop traffic from an ip and after few seconds, all rules are flushed without touching anything!
If I keep getting spam from a certain IP, can I add that IP to Iptables? Will it stop me receiving spam from that IP? I'm not quite sure how it all works.
Or what is the most effective method to stop spam?
EG_UDP_CPORTS="53,465,873,6277" Whenever I turn EGF to 1 my VPS locks me out of everything, I need togo into hyperVM to turn it off and restart my firewall.
What would cause this?
It's Fedora Core 5 on OpenVZ i've googled and cannot seem to find a reason why it would do that. Could be something in the host node kernel that may need adjusting?
Do you find iptables enough or do you use a hardware firewall for linux? I haven't used anything less than hardware firewalls for years but I gather than most simply rely on iptables. Is that a smart choice?
# iptables -D INPUT -s 25.55.55.55 -j DROP iptables v1.3.8: Couldn't load target `standard':/usr/local/lib/iptables/libipt_standard.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory What is going on? The libipt_standard.so file is located in /lib/iptables, but not /usr/local/lib/iptables. I tried moving all of the libipt files into the /usr/local/lib/iptables directory, but I got segmentation errors.
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables status Firewall is stopped. [root@localhost ~]# service iptables start Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ] Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: mangle filter [ OK ] Unloading iptables modules: ^[[A [ OK ] [root@localhost ~]# service iptables status Firewall is stopped.
it said iptables is stop...even I start manually...
I am not sure APF is running correctly because of iptables..
