I need help with .htaccess (Filtering foreign countries) - GoFuckYourself.com

KMR Stitch · 03-29-2005, 01:13 AM

If someone can post a link on how to make an htacess file to redirect all foreign countries that would be great.

or if someone can post their hta code here.

Thanks!

You can't use an htaccess file to do that (unless you wrote a custom script and used external auth, but I think thats a bit beyond the scope of a forum post).

KMR Stitch · 03-29-2005, 01:32 AM

nonsense.. I have seen it posted before and you list all the country extensions that you want to have the script redirect

If it's that easy - I would like to know too!

You can redirect by language easily enough.

Or, if you just want to redirect all non us / ca traffic to one general place:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} !^US$
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} !^CA$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.somethingthatmightconvert.com [R,L]

Forgive me if this sounds stupid but wouldn't it be better to check the country/ip BEFORE the person joins to PREVENT them from joining?

If you're talking .htaccess then doesn't that imply that it's a protected directory i.e., one in which you would have already had to pay for to gain access. Why would you want to redirect them at that point?

I'm confused...

This is for filtering out unuseful traffic. He asked this for me. I don't get paid for it. So I might as well filter it out and send it elsewheres.
