How To Block Google’s Web Accelerator
Please make sure you adjust your existing .htaccess code for optimum protection!
(bro) We’ve detected another Google Web Accelerator (GWA) IP range, namely:
72.14.194.0 - 72.14.194.255.
To block this range as well as the previously referenced one, you will need to modify the RewriteCond line in your .htaccess file:
previous
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^72.14.192.
new
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^(72.14.192.|72.14.194.)
Using the pipe symbol “|” you can include additional ranges in the checking pattern (pipe is a logical OR).
And as you can see, multiple IP ranges are embedded in rounded brackets “( )”.
So please find our adjusted code samples below.
RewriteEngine onOptions +FollowSymlinksRewriteBase /RewriteCond ^(72.14.192.|72.14.194.)RewriteRule ^.*$ - [F]
And:
RewriteEngine onOptions +FollowSymlinksRewriteBase /RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^(72.14.192.|72.14.194.)RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/gwa-forbidden.html$RewriteRule ^.*$ /gwa-forbidden.html
