Unwanted domain is redirected to my site

[John_007]

Hi Folks,

Someone redirected unwanted domain to my site.

Could someone help to provide the steps to block that domain?

I tried RewriteCond in .htaccess file but still not blocked.

Any help is appreciated

If this host uses standard redirect with 302 or 301 the referrer is not the host that redirects, so you can't block this host with referrer redírect.

Example:
User requests link from Google result page. The page the user requests redirects to your page. Referrer is not the host that redirects. It is Google.

 

[John_007]

Actually its 301 redirect. For eg. If user hits this URL https://xyz.com then its redirecting to my site.

In this case how to solve this?

 

[serpent_driver]

That can't be solved because your host get's no information about this host. He is transparent.

 

[John_007]

So no other options to fix this negative domain? Any clue from others like wordpress plugins or any?

 

[serpent_driver]

No, this is how the Internet works.

Does litespeed don't have any option in cPanel to block the IPs or domains accessing to the site?

 

[serpent_driver]

How should LiteSpeed or any other webserver or whatever know who is accessing to this host?!

 

[John_007]

Sir we know the domain name or site who is accessing. Now only thing is we need to restrict them.

 

[serpent_driver]

Where and how do you get information who is accessing this host?

 

[John_007]

We can able to see the redirection information in ahref.

 

[serpent_driver]

Again, where do you see this information?

 

[John_007]

I told ahref explorer.

 

[serpent_driver]

Sorry, what is a href explorer?!

 

[John_007]

ahrefs is a kind of SEO tool where we can monitor the back links, traffic, redirections etc.for your site.

 

[serpent_driver]

Okay, but it doesn't matter what tool ever can check whatever. To block certain user that comes from a specific host your server needs information like referrer. With server redirection the referrer from the host that redirects doesn't transfer the referrer. You can verify it if you check your access_log from the affected domain/user. If access_log contains referrer information, you can block each user who has this refferrer. If not, you can't block.

 

[John_007]

Thanks! Do you have any sample logs which contains referrer?

Also which path contains access logs?

 

[serpent_driver]

Do you know how to access to your cPanel control panel?

 

[John_007]

Yes
