Hi Mike,

If your site is on a Apache Web Server you can do the following in your
.htaccess file.

order allow,deny
deny from 114.181.212.43
allow from all

And no your not just the lucky one. All sites are hit by bots both good
and bad. Just make sure you're not blocking a search engine indexing
your site.

Paul
