Hello, I have noticed in apache access log hundreds of requests from

"http://site.ru" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4"

and they come from many IPs – all of this requests gets either 301 or 303 or 503 - for example:

"GET /index.php HTTP/1.1" 503 16513 "http://site.ru" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4"

or

"GET /k.php HTTP/1.1" 301 239 "http://site.ru" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4"

or

"GET /shx.php HTTP/1.1" 303 - "http://site.ru" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4"

Is it possible to block traffic from this url “site.ru” using .htaccess Maker ? I cannot use IPs to block this traffic (they use many IPs) and I don’t have user agent string in access log to block user agent in .htaccess Maker. Is it possible to use Custom .htaccess rules (I understand code should be added in “Custom .htaccess rules at the bottom of the file" section) in .htaccess Maker and block this traffic ? Reading related results on Akeeba forum I have found thread with following solution:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} mycheaptraffic\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

(obviously mycheaptraffic\.com to be change to site\.ru)

However I have also find on Internet forums following solution

  RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} site\.ru [NC]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [L,R=403]

Can you give me a hint in this aspect?

Greg
