Not to mention that:

1] Some of the IP addresses in this module won't be matched properly,  
as they
    contain leading spaces.

2] More importantly, this module could be replaced with some extra  
Apache
    configuration (Deny stanzas), or by iptables configuration,  
assuming you
    aren't brain-dead enough to run a web server under Windows.

3] Even more importantly, this module's author fails to recognize the  
existence
    of anonymous HTTP proxies, which are - if anything - easier and  
more commonly
    used than TOR.

4] Even MORE importantly, this module's author fails to recognize the  
importance
    of hardening a server against attacks, rather than trying (and  
failing) to
    block possible sources of attack.
