Stop Robots & AOL Proxies Access To Website - Private Access??

[Olimits7]

Hello,

I'm hosting a small personal photo gallery website on my home computer through IIS.

By looking at the website logfiles I noticed that robots and proxies were hitting my website. I created a "robots.txt" file to stop the robots, but I can't seem to figure out how to stop these AOL proxies access to my website. Does anybody know how I can block the AOL proxies??

Or I was thinking about adding a login page with a username/password to gain access to the website. However, I don't know how to go about doing this. Does anybody know of a website that I can look at for some more info??

Or is there anything I can change in under the "Directory Security" tab under IIS?

Or any other ideas/suggestions??

Thank you for your help,

olimits7

Do you not want AOL users on the site ?? Because if anyone among your "wanted" users is using AOL they will be blocked as well.
Using robots.txt will only block compliant bots.

An IIS method would be to disable Anonymous access and create a local user account and password, then put those details in the "Edit..." dialog
