Akeeba GEO IP provider plugin

hallo,

bijna alle hack aanvallen komen uit het buitenland. Een puur NL-oriented site wil ik beveiligen met de Akeeba GEO plugin zodat de site niet vanuit buitenland te bereiken is. Heeft iemand hier ervaring mee ? Zijn er risisco's ? De searchbot van Google moet de site natuurlijk wel vinden.

met vriendelijke groet,
Joseph

We strongly believe that geographic blocking doesn't add anything to the security of your website. Most people think "cool, I can block those Russian spammers". Nothing could be further from truth than that. The intelligent spammers and crackers do not use a single computer in their country to launch their attacks on other sites. They are usually in control of a botnet, a collection of compromised computers around the world which do what they are told to. Using such a botnet, they can launch a spam operation whose traffic comes from different countries around the globe - even the country you live in. Clever crackers will also never use their real IP address to attack you. They usually use an anonymizing proxy or the TOR network. The immediate effect is that the traffic seemingly comes from another country or from a variety of different countries.

Ik kan niet in het hoofd van de ontwikkelaar kijken, maar misschien onder het mom van "alle beetjes helpen?
