Description: The PBipcheck tool is a PHP country access blocker and can allow or deny the access to scripts, websites or web applications for visitors from specified countries. It is also possible to specify which bots and spiders can access the site and which are blocked (user agent check and DNS lookup). The PBipcheck tool uses a database converter which downloads the GeoLite database from the MaxMind website and converts the data into an IP list which is used to check the access. The log analyzer displays useful information about the access data gathered from the created log files. The user can see the number of log entries, how many times the access for visitors was allowed/denied, the used access status, how many unique visitors/IP addresses were active, number of detected fake bots, number of detected unwanted bots, number of allowed bots, the minimum, maximum and average processing time. The IP number (similar like IP address) of the allowed visitors are cached to speed up the process. It is possible to have different configurations for different websites or applications. The PBipcheck tool has a well written User Manual of 77 pages (2.8 MB – PDF format). This script is for everyone who wants to restrict the access to his websites or applications for visitors from specific countries and also specific bots and spiders (You need to know how to upload files to your webhost, how to edit configuration files and optional how to password protect a directory.) Please check the User Manual, the Screenshots and the Online-Demo for more information! I hope you like this tool!
