Protect prosper202 domain with htaccess?

[CPW-Carl]

Reading the other thread where some numbnuts outed somebodies tracking domain, got me thinking.

If I protect my tracking domain with htaccess/htpasswd will prosper still work properly?

I dont see why it wouldnt, i will be trying myself, or just blocking it for certain IP's

try this.

.htaccess

#202 Block
<Files 202-login.php>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from [enter your IP here]
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.makemoniesonline.com/
</Files>

.htaccess

#202 Block
<Files 202-login.php>

deny from all

ErrorDocument 403 http://www.makemoniesonline.com/
</Files>

nice script

 

[BigWill]

try this.

.htaccess

#202 Block
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.makemoniesonline.com/
</Limit>

actually this code works better

OR - redirect login.php to makemonies via a php redirect, and copy login.php (the file) to something else - thus you have to navigate directly to the path (prosperdomain.com/thisspecificpath.php ) - which brings you to the login page.

You can just rename login.php and everything will still work

I don't like restricting by ip since my adsl can change ip's plus I may want to access it from my parents/friends/free wireless/etc.

Sweet, thanks guys.

I don't like restricting by ip since my adsl can change ip's plus I may want to access it from my parents/friends/free wireless/etc.

Same here, my home IP changes, and I check it from various locations, so can't lock it down to a single IP.

The current version has a robots.txt that should stop the engines from spidering it, and I'll rename the login page to something else to be safe.

you could be real sneaky if you have a dedicated server. install the .htaccess file above with the IP of your dedicated server, install a proxy to your server, and check via proxy.

or vpn, that works too.

 

[CPW-Carl]

ahhhh, yes its on a dedicated server, never played with installing proxies before, will research VPN a bit, never thought of that, thanks.

You can use partial IPs in htaccess so you could restrict by B block or C block.

212.111.313. <= C Block

212.111. <= B Block

That might only be useful for some ISPs in certain situations. If you are with a massive national ISP then you might be in too large of an IP pool.

 

[Webwonder]

Just move the login.php file to another directory or simply rename it. Everything will still work properly.

 

[CPW-Carl]

@guerilla: I check from home, work, friend's houses, airports, etc etc so my IP is never close to being the same to do it by B or C block.

 

[tonyfloyd]

when u rename the login.php file...u also need to change it in the index.php file...right?

If you redirect through Prosper at all, it's easy to find out the domain (and everything you do with that domain) no matter how much you try to protect it. People still make a ton of money using Prosper so why even stress over it?
