 Posted: Fri Oct 03, 2025 5:19 am Post subject: Can Abyss block access from all mobile devices? |
 |
|
Hello, all,
I have a few Abyss hosts that I would like to prevent (block) access to, from all mobile devices. I wish them to be accessible only from desktop browsers.
Ideally, when Abyss blocks them, it would be nice if Abyss can show them a "Not Supported" Page, which displays a message that informs those mobile users that the website is not supported on their device, and for them to instead use a desktop browser with a width resolution of at least 1600px.
Is Abyss capable of doing the above, possibly by using rewrite rules, or some other method?
Thanks in advance & have a great day.
Regards,
John |

Isn't it easier to make the site reponsive, or just check in html what the display size is and then display that message?

Thanks for your feedback, TFH.
Actually, my site is already responsive, and works quite well when switching to monitors with different resolutions.
However, I have designed some pages for displaying at a width of 1920px, with their page layouts getting messed-up when the resolution goes much below 1920.
Case in point is THIS page, which displays perfectly at a width of 1920. But when I display that same page on my other monitor that has a screen width of only 1680, some of the items do not display.
There are 2 things that I wish to be able to do:
1. block all access to that site from mobile devices (i.e. tablets & phones); and
2. block all access to that site if the visitor's monitor is not at least a certain width (i.e. 1920px).
I am going to be contacting the developer of my photo gallery script regarding item 2, to see if I am able to have the script block access to that gallery if the visitor's screen width is below a certain size, with the visitor being notified why they are unable to display the gallery.
I was hoping that Abyss would be able to handle item 1, by blocking access from all mobile devices. If Abyss cannot, then I will ask the developer of my photo gallery script regarding item 1 as well.
I hope that the above makes sense.
Thank in advance & have a great day.
Regards,
John |
