IP address banning

[Kevin]

I'm experimenting with some IP banning for web spiders / crawlers so if by chance you find yourself locked out pls contact me admin@offroadsubarus.com

I tried to log in several times over the last 2 weeks and had the 403 notification, but today it works fine !

 

[Kevin]

@jf1sf5 I will check it out

 

[Kevin]

@jf1sf5 OK I found the problem so should be fine now; thanks for letting us know.

I also sent an email to all members who have visited here since January 2021.

Ditto here....

All good here too, unless I get sent to the sin bin.

All good here too. Thanks for the notice email.

The results of doing this have reduced spiders / crawler "guests" from 60+ to just 5 or 6 mostly genuine "guests"
