Allow only from one country

Hi,
How can allow to use my site only from one country?

 

I understand that, but where can I get all ip addresses that belong to my country?

 

You could do it by using a geo IP api tool..eg

http://api.hostip.info/country.php?ip=0.0.0.0

<?php
$content = file_get_contents('http://api.hostip.info/country.php?ip='.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

if($content != 'UK'){
header('location: notallowedcountry.html');
exit;
}
?>

PHP:

(not tested)

 

Because it can be slow to get query another host ("hostip.info" for example) you can download and use the GEOIP PHP Api ( from maxmind.com) directly from your website... It look like this:

<?php
// This code demonstrates how to lookup the country by IP Address

include("geoip.inc");

$gi = geoip_open("GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);
$country = geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
geoip_close($gi);

if($country == "UK") /* If UK people don't deserve your website, do they deserve anything? ;-) */
{
header('Location: notallowedcountry.html');
}
?>

 

tulerpeton is speaking about maxmind.com solution (you get GeoIP.dat and geoip.inc from there)

 

it is impossible, if you want to do it, you have to update IP list-> pay for it, of course. All IP address of client will be reseted so how can u find where IP come from.
