Block IP from accessing website using .htaccess

Block IP from accessing website using .htaccess

To block certain ip address from accessing your website, just create a file with name .htaccess at your root directory with the content below:-

order allow,deny
deny from 192.168.0.1
allow from all

If you want to block multiple ip address using .htaccess simply add one ip address per line as below:-

order allow,deny
deny from 192.168.0.2
deny from 192.168.0.3
deny from 192.168.0.4
allow from all

You can even block a network range ip using .htaccess:-

order allow,deny
deny from 129.0.0
allow from all

Note: .htaccess only works in apache webserver, if you do not know what web server you are on, your can consult with your server administrator for more details.
