So, I have this rogue bot from Germany that doesn't identify itself. It spoofs the user agent pretends to be a normal user. Unfortunately it's also clicking ads. The block is always 185.220.*.*

So best i can tell googling, I've added it correctly.....

However as you can see it still gets in (been several days since I added it)...

Any ideas what I might have done wrong?

Thanks Hu.
But how is it still getting in when it's supposed to be blocked? Did I do it wrong?

I checked Event Viewer and there is no history of it ever being restarted. I just did it. We'll see. Thank you.

If the IP address block always starts with 185.220, you can stop it in ASP if you wish. In inc_header.asp, just above the line:

if strshowtimer = 1

Add this, they'll get sent back to their own computer every time they connect:

If Left(Request.ServerVariables("Remote_Addr"), 7) = "185.220" Then Response.Redirect "http://127.0.0.1"
