If someone is trying to hack your website or you want to block their IP Address, you can add this line to your .htaccess file.


order allow,deny
deny from IP-ADDRESS
allow from all


Replace "IP-ADDRESS" with the IP Address you want to block.


NOTE: If your domain is using Cloudflare, you will need to use:

SetEnvIf X-FORWARDED-FOR IP-ADDRESS allow
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from env=allow
