Hello all.<br>
I am sorry for jumping to strange (maybe) questions.<br>
<br>
In my test site I start receiving intents of hacking. Until now<br>
everything they have tried on the server and the configuration has<br>
resisted. Maybe this sound ridiculous but I was wondering this:<br>
Is there any chance to block entire countries, a module maybe by IP?<br>
<br>
I know Drupal 7 has an option to block by IP but that is not enough.<br>
I mean an attacker can change the IP (Yes I know nothing is secure).<br>
IN my case people from Korea or China (with all respect) are not<br>
people interested in my content and most of the attacks came from<br>
those and other countries. So I would like to block them<br>
<br>
What do you do to avoid those kind of attacks?<br>
Any module you know beside the option included to block entire countries?<br>
<br>
I once saw in one Open source software (a shopping cart) an option ,<br>
a module let's say, that you could install that let you download a<br>
file (I did it) and they use that file , big one) with the module to<br>
block entire countries completely,.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for the comments and I am sorry if some questions<br>
could sound....s..trange<br>
