How to block certain IP's from my site ?

Introduction

You complete this operation thanks to the .htaccess file.

This applies to text files that are detected by the web server (Apache). These files define the rules for a directory and its sub-directories.

Procedure to follow

You must create an .htaccess file and place it in the www directory (or in a directory particular you wish to limit).
This file should contain the blocking rules. Each rule is defined in the following format:
Deny from address_IP
Or Deny from page_IP
Or Deny from domain

All you have to do is replace the generic term with the unit you wish to block. Here are some examples:
You wish to block this IP 192.168.1.2, so you write:

Deny from 192.168.1.2


You wish to block all the IPs from 192.168.x.x, so you write:

Deny from 192.168


You wish to block all the IPs that have a Wanadoo identification, just write:

Deny from .wanadoo.fr
