I was surfing my google analytics and there came one odd IP that is from Japan. dont know what it is and i would like to block it, is this possible?

ah, i found it from user banning!

Good searching- I’d probably do it via the blacklist- which I have written to my htaccess file.

is that some kind of a “double-check” to write that in htaccess? Or does EE write it when you are uploading the list from EE?

Also, im still interested of how to do this to htaccess, thanks!

Basically, when you save the blacklist it will give you the option to write the blacklist to your htaccess file.  That assumes you have created an htaccess file and it has proper permissions (generally 666).  If those conditions are met?  Then EE will write the blacklist to your htaccess file, which is nice because it will block based on those conditions at the server level, before those referrers ever hit EE itself.

Also a cool thing is that if you manually add a duplicate, EE will only write the unique values to .htaccess.
