About denying access to domain via htaccess

If you are looking for a way to deny access to a domain from a specific IP address, you have come to the right place.

Our Support Engineers are here with a solution that allows you to utilize the ‘deny from’ option as per your requirements

How to use htaccess to deny access to domain?

We can deny access to any IP address to a domain by utilizing the ‘deny from’ option in the .htacess file.

For instance:

deny from 192.168.168.30 
deny from 192.168.168.40

We can also block an entire range of IP addresses via CIDR or by removing the last octet.

For instance:

 deny from 192.168.1

or,

deny from 192.168.1.0/24

If you want to block everyone except the listed IPS, we can use:

deny from all 
allow from 192.168.1.0/24

However, if the domain utilizes Cloudflare for DNS, this solution will not work unless we disable the proxy service.
