Hello Friends,

Code:

# block proxy servers from site access
# http://site name here

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:VIA}                 !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:FORWARDED}           !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:USERAGENT_VIA}       !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X_FORWARDED_FOR}     !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:PROXY_CONNECTION}    !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:XPROXY_CONNECTION}   !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTP_PC_REMOTE_ADDR} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTP_CLIENT_IP}      !^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F]

copy and paste this into your site’s root htaccess file it will not stop them all but will catch the majority.

Where and how I can find hatch access file in Windows Server ?

Well it is called .htaccess. And when you login to your site via ftp it should be a file in your html_public folder however, some windows servers only have a www folder and it will be a file located there
