    That can be complicated. Try to check geoip plugin for htaccess.
    2nd issue can be that just bots are crawling all links including nofollow one.

    NOW THIS IS MY .HTACCESS :

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    GeoIPEnable On
    # Put countries to deny here     
    SetEnvIf GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE BJ DenyCountry 
    SetEnvIf GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE NG DenyCountry 
    SetEnvIf GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE ZA DenyCountry 
     
    Allow from all 
    Deny from env=DenyCountry

    it's ok?

    @marian
    That's your job to identify what code should be put there and make sure that plugin (htaccess plugin) is enabled.
    This forum is not right place to discuss htaccess content and configuration.

    @OP

    Why don't you stop the abusive/unwanted country traffic at the edge before it hits your server? Server-side hacks can only do so much and you risk negatively impacting the performance of your stack.

    Switch to Cloudflare and block countries, bots, user agents etc. with a couple of clicks.

    I have cloudflare, but I don’t know what to do there 😞
