How to ban any IP Address via .htaccess?

You can block a specific IP address from accessing your website by adding a rule to the relevant .htaccess file.

Add the IP blocking rule

Replace IP-ADDRESS with the address you want to block:

<Limit GET POST>
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from IP-ADDRESS
Allow from all
</Limit>

Check the rule

• Enter the complete IP address that should be blocked.
• Keep a backup of the original .htaccess file.
• Remove the rule if it blocks legitimate visitors or causes a server error.
