How to ban some countries from our sites
 

How do you redirect users from Nigeria, China, India, etc. to some alternative site/page?

I'm gussing I should just create some htacecss file but not sure how to do it

Add Turkey to your list as well when you find out how.

agreed ...

If you have a dedicated box, you can block whole countries thru the firewall ( not redirecting it to another page ).

Otherwise. .htaccess with the whole range of IP would do it ( including redirecting ).

IP of countries here

RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^CN$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^HK$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^MO$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^CN$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^HK$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^MO$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^MY$ [NC,OR]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/whatever.html [R,L]

or

is there another part to this? where does it get the geoip country code?

TBH not sure MrPheer, got it from here but not tried it. The JS one works fine though
