In this tutorial, we will learn how to deny an IP address or how to allow a particular IP address from accessing your website. This measure is taken to save the website from hackers or to block unwanted visitors.<\/p>\n

First of all, you will need to create a .htacsess file in your public_html folder and add the following lines as per the requirements:<\/p>\n

1) Code to deny a specific IP address \u2013<\/h3>\n
Deny from 192.0.5.1<\/pre>\n
This code will deny one IP address from accessing your website. Make sure you use the IP address for which you wish to work.<\/p>\n
2) Code to deny specific domain \u2013<\/h3>\n
Deny from 192.0.0.1\/366.366.366.0<\/pre>\n
Using this code you can deny a specific domain from accessing your domain. Use the code in .htaccess file, and replace IP address and netmask value to match the domain that you wish to block.<\/p>\n
3) Code to deny multiple IP\u2019s in a single line of code \u2013<\/h3>\n
While using this code, leave a blank space with each IP for separation.<\/p>\n
Deny from 111.111.111.111 444.444.444.444 666.666.666.666<\/pre>\n
Replace IPs of your choice in .htaccess file.<\/p>\n
4) Code to allow only a single IP \u2013<\/h3>\n
The below code will deny access of all the other websites from every IP address except the IP address mentioned in the rule :<\/p>\n
Order Deny,Allow\r\nDeny from all\r\nAllow from 222.222.222.222<\/pre>\n
This code indicates that first, we have denied all visitors and then allowed only the visitor from a specified IP address.<\/p>\n
5) Code to deny single IPv6 address \u2013<\/h3>\n
Use the following code to block IPv6 address through .htaccess file :<\/p>\n
Deny from 2001:cdba:0000:0000:0000:0000:3284:7536<\/pre>\n
That\u2019s it!<\/p>\n
