To Deny a Specific\u00a0IP Address<\/span><\/h2>\n

The below code will only deny one IP address from accessing the website.<\/p>\n

\u200b\u200bDeny from 192.0.0.1<\/pre>\n
Just change the IP address to the IP address that you want to deny and paste it in the .htaccess file.<\/p>\n
To Deny a Specific Domain<\/span><\/h2>\n
We can deny a specific domain from accessing our domains by adding the below line of code to your .htaccess file.<\/p>\n
Deny from 192.0.0.1\/255.255.255.0<\/pre>\n
You need to change the IP address and netmask value to match the domain that you want to block.<\/p>\n
To Deny Multiple IP\u2019s in a Single Line of Code<\/span><\/h2>\n
Leave a blank space with each IP for separation.<\/p>\n
\u200bDeny from 111.111.111.111 222.222.222.222 333.333.333.333<\/pre>\n
All you need to do is replace the IPs that you want to deny and paste it in the .htaccess file.<\/p>\n
To Allow Only a Single IP<\/span><\/h2>\n
The below set of .htaccess rule will deny access to the website from every IP address expect the IP address mentioned in the rule.<\/p>\n
Order Deny,Allow\r\nDeny from all\r\nAllow from 111.111.111.111<\/pre>\n
Here we first deny all visitors, and then allow only the visitor from the IP address specified above.<\/p>\n
To Deny a Single IPv6 Address<\/span><\/h2>\n
To block a IPV6 address via .htaccess, follow the syntax below:<\/p>\n
Deny from 2001:cdba:0000:0000:0000:0000:3257:9652<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
