I have a website that's being targeted by spammers and I want to show them a different version of the site (with no forms) when they come visit our pages. I need to keep the same URLs in the Browser Bar but show them a similar page in a Folder.
For example: example.com/contactform.html would keep the url but would show them: example.com/decoy/contactform.html
The whole site would be duplicated inside folder DECOY but mainly with all forms in the pages removed.
I was able to make it work with a test site but when I tried to do it with my site (which it's https), it didn't work as the URL in the browser Bar changes (i.e. it shows: example.com/decoy/contactform.html)
Maybe things are different with https? Can you you help? Thanks! Here it's my code:
# INI suspicious IP
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^23\.26\.131\. [OR]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^24\.121\.216\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/decoy/$1 [P,L]
</IfModule>
# END suspicious IP
