Hi,
If you have server access (ssh access), and you have firewall with iptables, run this command:
iptables -I INPUT -D 98.206.220.172 -j DROP === BLOCK
And if you feel you ever need to unblock that user, simply input:
iptables -D INPUT -s 98.206.220.172 -j DROP === UNBLOCK
You could also block him via .htaccess with the following lines:
order allow,deny
deny from 98.206.220.172
allow from all
Easiest way: iptables block. Secure, and better. They won’t be able to load your site.
Complicated way: .htaccess is a bit tricky sometimes…
