the commies are stealing my BW

[hibbidiji]

I keep getting hotlinked by chinese servers... I've spent probably 20 hours blocking sites individually and i'm tired of it! Is there a htaccess or other easy solution to blocking all traffic incoming from china?

Here is an .htaccess file that I use. This should fix your problems with hotlinkers. Be sure to change the XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX to your IP address and domain.com to your own domain name.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://domain.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.domain.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp|asx|mpeg|mpg|avi|mov|asf|wmv|tif|png)$ http://www.domain.com [R,NC]

Go to www.maxmind.com. download and install Apache Geo module.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^CN
RewriteRule ^/*$ /blocked.html [PT,L]
</IfModule>

The syntax may not be accurate....poor memory.
