Hi Jonathan, you need to modify the .htaccess, this file usually resides at your websites root folder.

If you do not have a .htaccess document on your server you need to create one.

The easiest way to create an .htaccess document is to create a document in notepad and call it i.e. htaccess.txt. Past the blocking information into this the document (listed below). Following you upload htaccess.txt on to your server with your favorite FTP client. Once uploaded you rename the htaccess.txt document to .htaccess. (Note: take care that the dot is kept before htaccess).

The list of IPs are based on Nigeria, do note this is going to block Nigeria as a whole and was generated automatically by an IP address tracking software.
<Limit GET HEAD POST>

Hope it helps, but do note its blocking the country Nigeria as a whole.

Kind regards,
