Regular visitors from Moscow

[Led]

I have had those visits from the same ISP for months from different IPs. Is it harmless or malicious? Here is the last visit today:

ISP:	Pjsc Megafon	Platform / Resolution:	Desktop / 2048x1311
IP Address:	178.176.77.85 —	OS:	Win10
Location:	Moscow, Moscow City, Russian Federation	Browser:	Chrome 97.0
Host Name:	(no host name found for 178.176.77.85)
Total Visits:	1

Maybe they practice with the behavioral factors. it can be a reason. I'd say that harmless or malicious depend on their statistics on your website.

Does it visit homepage or sub-pages, reviews etc also? You can allways bann ip's via htaccess if the bots behaves bad.

It visits various pages 1-3 at a time. It uses multiple IPs, browsers, resolutions. I've already blocked over 80 IPs from this ISP, and I've bot detection, but it slips through. The number of visits decreased, though.
I don't know if it is responsible for my copied pages around many crappy domains.

This is may be Roskomnadzor (Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media of Russian Federation). In other words they are blocking gambling related websites. Not only in Russian language. In English and other languages some times too.

Thanks Moonlight. Then many gambling webmasters should observe those visits.

It may also be someone who is particularly interested in your site using Moscow's IP address, but not Roskomnadzor.

For Roskomnadzor, it usually takes about a week to block the site. And, yes, you do receive a lot of bot traffic during their check because it seems that they are using bots to check the site for prohibited content, phrases, etc. And then you receive a letter from your hosting provider to give up your site or block entirely the country visitors.

That's scary

Yes, indeed! Another thing to keep in mind is that they will find you even if you have switched hosting providers and changed your URL. I speak from personal experience. They most likely have bots that scan the internet for content that matches what they have in their database of blacklisted domains, etc.

I don't even have Russia mentioned anywhere and I'm not pushing content to any country in Europe. I'm scared.

Don´t worrie

That IP is reported as spam and most likly it´s just scanning thru your site - pretty harmles, unless you are super unsecured or something.

Up to 70% of the total traffic to websites are estimated to be bots and there is not much you can do about that.
