Blocking Various Countries By IP

Or only include certain ones.

Eg block all of Africa

Easiest way of doing it on LAMP?

IPTables is more efficient that .htaccess but both will work

[ukgimp]

Saw that one.

Better to exclude countries I suspect rather than allow, due to the fact that you might have incomplete data.

thanks

Agreed, only ever deny, not allow - presuming the list will be shorter that is.
