How to Block an IP address range using the .htaccess file

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.

Solution

  • 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]
