Hello everyone, my website is bietduoc.net currently selling to customers all over the world, but now the Indian market has many people entering SEO Spam, not real customers. So what if I want to temporarily block India?
Sincerely thank

Hello there,
You can block access to your site for certain countries but there are a few things you need to implement first.
You can also check this article on SEO-SPAM and while I can not recommend their product because I haven’t used it, their article on SEO-SPAM covers pretty much everything that you need to know.

Hi @bietduoc,
You can do this using
CSF
(ConfigServer Firewal) as well. In order to block a country you can use theCC_DENY
option which accept two-letter country codes such as US, GB and etc.In order to list more than one country you just need to separate them using comas:
CC_DENY = "AB,CD,EF"
You may find a list of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2
If you’re not familiar with CSF or you want to install it on CentOS or Ubuntu droplet check out this mini tutorial:
