So I generally leave my wifi open, and have for a long time. But, I have a couple of new neighbors, and I've been seeing a lot of unusual traffic in my router logs, and noticing the bandwidth hit as well. Sure I could lock it down in two seconds and be done with it, but that's no fun. What I did do, was leave the wifi open and redirect all traffic that isn't me to lolcats.com so no matter what they type in their address bar, they go to lolcats.

Thats great! I don't know what i'd do if i got directed back to that lol.
 
Thats pure evil! lol, killer idea man.

Why not redirect them here? I'm sure that would really scare them off.......

Becuase I don't want the admins here to think that my public IP is spamming the site. Besides, this site doesn't fit the criteria listed below anyway.

RickRoll them.

Tried that, that was actually my first choice. The problem lies in how I'm handling the HTTP redirect. I have to have a site popular enough to be the primary domain, not a sub domain, and have a 1:1 IP translation, and none of the Rick Roll sites I could find had that.
 
I bet they have been running virus and malware scans for the last 24 hours . I might have to open my wifi !
