Hi Jim,
All excellent points, but everything is in order.
I may have stumbled upon something. Our ISP has CloudFlare turned on
for this domain and, after a lot of searching, it appears that CloudFlare
changes the IP address of the visitor (I may not be wording that correctly).
Using a PHP scripts, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR gives me my proper IP address while
REMOTE_ADDR is blank. Unfortunately, I still can't block myself. I've tried:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR} !!=69.163.150.25
RewriteCond %{HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR} ^69\.163\.150\.25$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !!=69.163.150.25
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^69\.163\.150\.25$
Am I going about this all wrong?
Thank again,
Angela
