If you suspect malicious activity or unauthorized access attempts on your website, you can prevent specific IP addresses from accessing your site by adding the following lines to your .htaccess
file:
order allow, deny
deny from IP-ADDRESS
allow from all
Replace IP-ADDRESS
with the actual IP address you wish to block. This simple configuration restricts access from the specified IP address while allowing all other traffic to proceed without interruption. Regularly monitoring and updating your .htaccess
file can help enhance the security of your website and protect it from potential threats.
