| My site is getting hit hard from China in the last few days. Repeated requests for the same files, and loads of 408 timeouts. All offending IPs are properly denied, and as a result they aren't using up hardly any of my bandwidth, but they are grossly polluting my logs, and presumably are hijacking some server power, to the detriment of responsible users. Do I have any recourse? Or do I just hold my nose? |

Hello,
Did you try using Cloudflare services ? |

| I have no idea what Cloudflare is, and I'm not really interested in paying someone to set up a content delivery gateway to my website. The question is whether Apache offers me any options for repelling this kind of access. |

| The best way is to ban those IP rages that you don't like on your firewall. Best choise on your router. If it doesn't support that then in your OS firewall. |
