Blocking Ubiquity Servers

Today I added this to my .htaccess file.

I am sick of the spam hits from these ubiquityservers.com subnets.

order allow,deny
deny from 173.234
deny from 173.208
deny from 173.212
deny from 173.34
deny from 69.147
allow from all

I may be denying some good servers, but on these subnets they would still be servers and not users. I only want humans on this site. I will keep adding to this list.

    They’ve just been assigned another block: 108.62.0.0/16

    On Feb 22 they reassigned a chunk of this to Online Proxy Host aka Boboc, Alexandru so expect this range to be quite active:
    https://whois.domaintools.com/108.62.163.31

    I’m getting this crap at my blog all the time, too. I Googled Ubiquity Servers looking for info. I’ve got the IPs added to my anti-spam plugin. Thanks to both of you.

    Thanks,

    I have an ever expanding set of IPs for spammers. I don’t know why ubiquity lets these people continue like this. I sent them several messages reporting abuse and did not hear back.
