GDPR Blocking (PHP Edition)
wraith808:
Specifically, in case he was being too obtuse, this in the code.
--- Code: PHP ---Prerequisites: * PHP * GeoIP as described here: http://php.net/manual/en/geoip.requirements.php
Though I wouldn't disagree that a bit of obtuseness was perhaps warranted in this case.
Tuxman:
In fact, the PHP manual is more descriptive than I could be, especially with its comments section.
The Code Queryer:
There is an expensive web service that makes your website GDPR-compliant by adding a JavaScript that redirects visitors from the EU to an error page.
This is my attempt to provide a simple and free PHP script for those who want to achieve the same result on server side.

Enjoy. And feel free to extend/fix/implement it as you wish.

According to this link:
https://www.php.net/...oip.requirements.php
You need c library installed. Not sure how to install that on my cPanel. I was looking for something with php alone.
Shades:
GeoLite2 is what you likely could use.
You could create a subdomain using cPanel and divert users from the GDPR countries to that subdomain where you make a simple page that explains why they are not allowed access. That gives you still an overview of how many visitors from GDPR countries wanted to visit your site and these visitors have an inkling of why access was denied and (hopefully) create so much outcry that politicians gladly take action to cut GDPR short before the internet becomes (too) divided.
