IP Deny Manager
IP Deny Manager allows you to block access to your site for one or more IP addresses. You can also ban fully qualified domain names (FQDNs).
Deny an IP address
To deny access to an IP address or range of IP addresses:
- Enter the IP address or range in the IP Address or Domain field.
- Click Add.
You can enter IP addresses in any of five ways:
- Single IP Address (Example:
10.5.3.333)- Range (Example:
10.5.3.3-10.5.3.40)- Implied Range (Example:
10.5.3.3-40)- CIDR Format (Example:
10.5.3.3/32)- Implied IP Address (Example:
10.)
- Important:
10.as an implied IP address implies10.*.*.*, where each*represents a positive whole number. If you enter10., all IP addresses that begin with10.will be blocked.Note: If you enter IP addresses directly to the
.htaccessfile, enter them in CIDR format only. Use of the range formats shown above as entries in the.htaccessfile may cause problems.
Current IP addresses being blocked
IP address ranges entered through IP Deny Manager are separated into subnets in CIDR format before the values are added to the
.htaccessfile. The interface will display blocked IP addresses and ranges in this notation.For example, if you enter the range
208.74.124.96-208.74.124.128, the Current IP addresses being blocked: table will appear similar to:
Unban an IP address

- Click Yes to confirm.
