Answer

To block Website content thieves, Proxy services & Exploited servers, we will use some htaccess rules to block a huge number of IP Addresses and CIDR ranges.

Copy/Paste all htaccess rules from this URL to your main server htaccess : http://pastebin.com/A1jU3kdM

This blacklist will block :

  • SoftLayer's Proxy servers list.
  • LiquidWeb Exploited servers.
  • Interbusiness.it and Telecom Italia Net. Content Scrapers and scammers.
