How to Block an IP address range using the .htacce

问题:

I have detected that a range of IP addresses may be used in a malicious way and I don't know how to block it.

I would like to block the range 66.249.74.* from accessing my website by using the .htaccess file.

回答1:

You could use:

Order Allow,Deny
Deny from 66.249.74.0/24
Allow from all

Or you could use this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^66\.249\.74\.
RewriteRule ^ - [F]

回答2:

Use just the first 3 octets

Order Allow,Deny
Deny from 66.249.74.
Allow from all

回答3:

I’ve just used

Order Allow,Deny
Deny from 188.143.*.*
Allow from all

as spam attack comes from xxx.xxx.0-80.0-80.

You can go to: and enter ips and it will generate the file for you. http://www.htaccesstools.com/block-ips/

Also for example you want to block the ip address range you want would be:

Order Allow,Deny
Deny from 66.249.74.0/24
Allow from all

Or You Can Do:

You can indicate which addresses you wish to block using RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}.

This is a Working Example:

# BLOCK VISITORS REFERRED FROM GOOGLE.COM

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^https?://([a-z0-9-]+\.)?google\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

---

The example above uses a regular expression, so it will block:

• https:// or http://
• followed by any subdomain (or none)
• followed by google.com
• followed by anything (or nothing)

---

The [F] flag means Forbidden. The server will return a 403 Forbidden Error.

you can do it easily by adding IP Ranges to your .htaccess file by downloading the full ranges from https://www.ip2location.com/blockvisitorsbycountry.aspx and uploading the .hataccess back to the directory you want blocked.

I recently blocked Russia by this method cause of getting loads of spam registrations on my forum and the forum never needs any contribution from this country.

eg:

<Files *>
order deny,allow
deny from 2.72.0.0/13 2.92.0.0/14 2.132.0.0/14 
</Files>
