Setting up the client

include 'antibot.php';

$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
$user_agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

$antibot = new AntiBot($ip, $user_agent);

/*
Additional paramaters (default all true)
*/
$antibot->block_tor = true;
$antibot->block_vpn = true;
$antibot->block_bogon = true;
$antibot->block_abuse = true;

/*
Blocklisting IPs and Countries
*/

// * Example: Blocking countries:
$antibot->blacklisted_countries = ["finland", "germany", "estonia", "turkey"];

// * Example 2: Blocking region (block whole EU)
$antibot->blacklisted_regions = ["europe"];

// * Example 3: Blocking IP addresses
$antibot->blacklisted_ips = ["45.18.251.25", "28.25.111.58"];

/*
Whitelisting
When you want site reachable by specific IP address only!
This will override block rules
*/
$antibot->whitelisted_ips = ["61.58.68.235"]; 

// Now execute the checks
$result = $antibot->Execute(); // false|string

// FALSE if check passed, STRING with description if check not passed
if ($result != false) {
  // Blocked. $result will contain the reason.
    die("\n Bot detected - reason: $result");
}

Examples

• Blocking Turkey IPs

• Blocking VPNs (ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Mullvad are easily detected, there's so less vpns can bypass this)

• Blocked bot user agents (you can extend the list)
