Description:
The PBipcheck tool is a PHP country access blocker and can allow or deny the access to scripts, websites or web applications for visitors from specified countries. It is also possible to specify which bots and spiders can access the site and which are blocked (user agent check). The PBipcheck tool uses a database converter which downloads the GeoLite database from the MaxMind website and converts the data into an IP list which is used to check the access. The data which matches with the IP list is cached to speed up the process. It is possible to have different configurations for different websites or applications. The PBipcheck tool has a well written User Manual of 60 pages (2.1 MB – PDF format).
This script is for everyone who wants to restrict the access to his websites or applications for visitors from specific countries and also specific bots and spiders (You need to know how to upload files to your webhost and how to edit configuration files!)
Please check the User Manual, the Screenshots and the Online-Demo to get more information!
