anti_offline_browser.php is a script to protect your site against offline browsers that produce too much traffic. It uses basic user-agent detection and hits-per-second-rate to detect offline browsers. Seach engine bots are detected using an IP-based whitelist.

At first, you should edit the variables on the config-section of the php-file. After that, copy the files to your web-directory and as last step, include the script on your website-files, so it is executed on top of every page of your site. (or just sites you wanna protect)



You can edit by yourself the error-page.

What's New in This Release:
rewrite of user agent validation:
until now, i use a blacklist file for user agents and user agents are only validated on the first visit (this will save some cpu/ram)
session will be started if no active session was found
some bug fixes
