Re: FN-FORUM Banning IP using htaccess

date posted 8th January 2001 19:31

At the top of the .htaccess file add or edit the following directives


order deny,allow
deny from 24.80.17.5
deny from 65.103.91.7


If a "Limit.../Limit" directive already exists in your .htaccess file, don't
add a new one; instead, edit the existing one to look like the example
above. Replace the IP addresses listed with the ones you'd like to ban. You
can ban as many IP addresses as you need; each one must have its own "deny
from" directive on a separate line. Anyone who tries to visit your website
from an IP banned in your .htaccess file will receive a "403 Forbidden"
error message.

Bear in mind that the majority of IP addresses are assigned dynamically by a
users ISP nowadays so this is not a trerribly effective method of banning
people...

Cheers

Kif
