Block countries behind CloudFlare

If your site is behind CloudFlare, you cannot access your visitors IP / Country by using :

1	echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

Because it gives you a CloudFlare IP…

Very frustrating if you are trying to block some countries,

Here is the TIP :

<?php

// You can add this code to your header

// display real visitor's IP

// echo "CloudFlare Ip ".$_SERVER["HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP"]."<br>";

// display real visitor's country code

// echo "CloudFlare Country ".$_SERVER["HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY"]."<br>";

$country=$_SERVER["HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY"];

// Test if visitor is from some countries and redirect them if so

if (($country=='TH') OR ($country=='AF') OR ($country=='PK') OR ($country=='IN') OR ($country=='MM'))

{

// Display a nice message ;-)

// echo "pay klai klai !";

// or redirect this visitor to a nice page

document.location="https://web-a-way.com";

</script>

<?php

}

That’s it !
