Square Wheels Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Can I ban IP addresses from viewing the site? I know I can ban them from registering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark H Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 To clarify, you can add that as a block in an .htaccess file, as was noted. The full block of code to add would be: order allow,deny deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx allow from all where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the actual IP Address you want to block. Additional "deny from" lines can be added after the first one, but before the last line, as so: order allow,deny deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx allow from all The exact message they will see depends somewhat on the server, but generally they will get a "You don't have permission to access / on this server" or similar wording.

Square Wheels Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks all. Not sure if I will be doing this yet. It's actually for one of my best members. He feels he needs an electronic vacation so I banned him from the site (per request), but he still visits the site and emails some of his friends. Before I offered to him the ability to completely ban him, I wanted to see if it could be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
