Denying access to all IP addresses within a specific host for httpd

[masun]

Hello, I am trying to deny all IP addresses that originate from a specific proxy host: *.opera-mini.net.

In host access control I currently have: daemon: "httpd" , Access List: "*.opera-mini.net", Action: "deny".

I wanted any and all IP addresses related to this host from accessing any webpage on port 80. I have blocked all countries except US on my server but they are now using proxies to visit my site. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I think I found a better solution by just blocking proxy servers through htaccess: How to block a site & all proxy?

Do you have CSF installed. ?
If so, have you considered googling "opera mini proxy ip range" and then add these to the deny list, with a '# do not delete' on the end.

I'd also consider that blocking all counties except US could have potential to break things like email and DNS etc.
