Anyone else notice

A bunch of IP's from China viewing the FAQ page? How can I disable the FAQ page
or remove it? Not the button the page itself.

Thanks in Advance,

John

is this because you think it will stop the chinese bots from visiting your site?

if so, it will have no affect.
also , they are not doing anything to hurt your site by viewing that or any other page they have permission to view.

Thanks for the response. They are causing 500 errors, cause FAQ page is so large.
They are coming from various IP's so banning all of them is nearly impossible.

Any Ideas?

This has been noticeable for many phpBB boards. You might want to read My CPU spiking up.

In the case of boards I manage I finally resorted to the solution in the blog linked in

I enter the IP 159.138* and I keep getting an error message that No IP as been provided.
I tried 159.138.* and still the same error. Doesn't go through. the only way to work is to enter the entire IP.
But there are tons of them starting with that string, with agents looking like this:

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0(Linux;Android 5.1.1;OPPO A33 Build/LMY47V;wv) AppleWebKit/537.36(KHTML,link Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/42.0.2311.138 Mobile Safari/537.36 Mb2345Browser/9.0

that's weird

Ahhh Mb2345Browser bot! I was hit by that one last week!

Deploy CloudFlare and look into CIDRAM which is linked in my Sig below. Don't get owned.
