    Hi,
    i tried blockacountry, my friend from japan telling me he can see the website although i blocked japan,
    is there any way to visit my website from other location over the world and to check if my website is blocked?
    i tried to use Chinese proxy, but it still showing the website,
    what i did is downloaded the htaccess.txt file and renamed it to .htaccess...

    Thanks..
    Joseph

    If you have root access to your server then you can Install CSF firewall, which allows you to pick country code's to block the site from, it uses a freely available list of IP's per a country so sometimes there is a few that do slip through, a swell as people using Proxy's/VPN's. However it will block most people, once you have done that you can check your site using "http://just-ping.com/" which will show you which locations can connect and not connect to your site/server.

    I think if you call your web host and tell them what you want to do and why, they'll gladly do it for you. :)
