\t\t\t\tI was looking at some strange Webalizer stats for RakNet.<\/p>\n

This IP address 211.153.203.4 has required 10.7 gigabytes worth of data in only 5 visits. That is 10X more than the next highest IP address 91.67.34.76.<\/p>\n

The IP address is from China.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

91.67.34.76 is in Germany, and has requested 1 gigabyte in a single visit.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure, but my guess is all those forum spammers is some gang or bot computers because I can’t see what else would use that much bandwidth.<\/p>\n

Edit:<\/p>\n

Webhost told me to make a .htaccess file with this list:<\/p>\n

Deny from 211.153.203. 91.67.34.76<\/p>\n

I tried it with my own IP, and it seems to work.<\/p>\n

Edit 2:<\/p>\n

After doing this yesterday, today my traffic was down by 80%! So it looks like 4 out of 5 visits were just spam bots from China trying to hack the forum. Good grief!\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
