How do I block visitors from my site?

You can deny access based upon IP address, IP block or domain name. This can be done by creating an .htaccess file with the following code.

 

     CODE

order allow,deny

deny from xxx.xx.xx.xx

allow from all

 

*Replace the “xxx.xx.xx.xx” with the IP you want to ban.

 

To deny more than one IP just add the “deny from xxx.xx.xx.xx” under the previous one like this.

 

      CODE

Order allow,deny

deny from xxx.xx.x.x

deny from xxx.xxx.xx.x

deny from xx.xx.xxx.xx

allow from all

You now have 3 IP addresses blocked or you can “deny from all” to turn everyone away from your site
