How to prevent access to the site to users with a certain language?

Question

Web development

The task is simple - hundreds of Chinese are pouring into the site a day. I am sure that this is a traffic surge by one unscrupulous office that wants to increase the attendance rates for the client. Blocking by IP is not a hunt, you need to fasten geoip. It is much easier to slash users with the Chinese language installed. but how to do that?

Answer 1

chop them by Accept-Language, sometimes the language is specified in the User-Agent.

Answer 2

Thank you! Made. check now =)

Answer 3

Well, or it’s trite to just use geoip, but one problem is that you need to update the ip database often.

Answer 4

GEOIP in nginx is configured in half an hour and keeps foreign DDoS with a bang.

Answer 5

GEOIP will give information about the IP, but not the fact that the user's language will be appropriate. So only on the user-agent.
