Found these fuckers in my stats , how does one block them. I tried a htaccess redirect , but that didn't work.

Should I try and block them with antihotlinking?

Add this in your root .htaccess file:

Code:

order allow,deny

deny from 89.18.179.48

Hmmm...add this after the two lines I already gave you:

Code:

allow from all

I'm assuming that you aren't denying any other IPs.

I have a small list of IPs that I deny. When I added their IP and tested their site with my URL, this is their result:
"No images were found on the specified page!"

Glad it worked. ;) Of course, if they change hosts, their IP will change and you'll have to update it in your .htaccess.

You can actually create a list of IPs to deny by simply adding each in this manner:

Code:

deny from XX.XX.XX.XX

So if you were denying five different IPs, that area of your .htaccess might look like this:

Code:

order allow,deny

deny from 89.18.179.48

deny from 12.34.56.78

deny from 22.34.56.78

deny from 32.34.56.78

deny from 42.34.56.78

allow from all

From my minimal understanding, it's really not a good thing to have to big of list rules within your .htaccess because it's forcing your server to cross-check the referring IP of every incoming whatever. You shouldn't experience any sort of issue with just a few though. (I have several IPs banned for multiple long-forgotten reasons.)
