Deny IP via .htaccess and mod_rewrite

***Brian Turner*** · 22-06-2005, 08:33 PM

I'm not sure what this is, but I just found it on my .htaccess.

I *believe* it's to stop a specific IP from accessing the site, though I have no idea of whom or why - possibly an openproxy IP used by blog spam bots to spam my blog when first set up.

Anyway, for the moment I'll suggest this as a way to block IPs until I receive confirmation/correction of what this code is for.

Code:

<Files 403.shtml>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Files>

deny from 64.71.144.
