 Blocking users by IP
Is there a pesky person perpetrating pain upon you? Stalking your site
from the vastness of the electron void? Blockem!
In your htaccess file, add the following code--changing the IPs to suit
your needs--each command on one line each:
order allow,deny
deny from 123.45.6.7
deny from 012.34.5.
allow from all
You can deny access based upon IP address or an IP block. The above
blocks access to the site from 123.45.6.7, and from any sub domain under
the IP block 012.34.5. (012.34.5.1, 012.34.5.2, 012.34.5.3, etc.) I have
yet to find a useful application of this, maybe if there is a site
scraping your content you can block them, who knows.
You can also set an option for deny from all, which
would of course deny everyone. You can also allow or deny by domain name
rather than IP address (allow from .javascriptkit.com
works for www.javascriptkit.com or virtual.javascriptkit.com, etc.)
