Hello, Any have any other creative ideas on how to block competitors from gaining access to a Web site. My idea, which isn't fool proof is to try and find out what their network IP address is and write code in your site wide header to redirect or block traffic from a IP sub set, as long

My thoughts are that you need a non-technological solution to this problem. Anyone can spoof an IP address, go to your site from another domain, or falsify their credentials to gain access to your information. So an IP-based solution probably will not help - you probably don't know who all of
