block people from my site?

Post by qads »

hi,
i was wondering if i could block people from viewing my site? i thought about useing ip address but that's no good with dail-up users, getting users to register first is not what i am looking for :?

any other way would be great!


thanks alot for your time and help

its basically impossible unless you password protect your entire site to let only people with the proper user name/password combo.

Even then if you have a sign up for they could still get in that way.

IP is no good because like you said it keeps changing plus they could always go somewhere else to view it.

What kind of site is it? If its just for you and your friends? if so I'd password protect it and then use Session Variables to control access.
