Deny the access from all the range of the network (if you don't care of Romanians)

for example: I found today on the error log someone that was trying to find files that doesn't exist my place (usually they search for the "links" mod or the "knowledge base" mod (I've uninstalled it)).

So in order to prevent the IP change I banned the whole network, you can find the range easily without calculation using whois.domaintools.com

for example if the ip is

58.22.0.0

the range is from 58.22.0.0 to 58.22.1.255

and the line in the .htaccess is

deny from 58.22.0.0/15

(you can find the range "58.22.0.0/15" in the site's page, but there are other site's that can make the calculation for you, I forgot the links, sorry  :oops: )
