How to limit web site access to USA or North Ameri

问题:

This is a corporate site so Private. We want to limit access by IP address to USA/Canada or North America. Based on IP range, would allow user/pwd to get in otherwise -'no access'. Just trying to limit hack exposure from anything overseas.

If your main aim is to prevent unauthorized access to your website by IP... that will never ever work. Its so easy to bypass that. a user/pwd would be a more secure option.

To answer your question, if you have certain features or a complete website block that you want to do, this is a tutorial:

Anybody who could get past your password security could easily get past any IP filtering security (and it may even be seen as a challenge, thus increasing the risk of overseas hacking). I think the premise of your question is flawed.

回答3:

There are various libraries that will do geocoding of IP address. The one I've used is GeoIP, which has a free version.

Note that IP addresses can be spoofable, so anyone wanting to get around your check will be able to. Any serious hackers won't be very deterred.
