How can I block certain IP. address from visiting my site?

[Michel Z.]

I want to block IP. address of person visiting my site.
I don't want this person to visit my site & being a SPY all the time!
I have his IP. address through my site stats.
How can I do this? Through my host or domain provider? Where do I go (which option)?
Many thanks!

You could do it like this:

<?php
if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] !== '127.0.0.1') {

YOUR SITE CODE HERE

} else {
echo "Fuck off douchebag!";
}
?>

I'm a PHP noob, so if it doesn't work, don't be pissed.

does this have to do with your post the other day?

Nevermind, that was someone else.

I like your echo "Fuck off douchebag!" LOL

don't hard code it into your site

use .htaccess

order allow,deny
deny from 127.0.0.1
allow from all

What system are you using? Unix or Windows?

If it's a Unix system using Apache then you can put this in a .htaccess file and block the IP address. Just remember. You can block the IP but there is always a way around that if he's smart enough. He'll just change the IP and you'll be playing whack-a-mole with him.

In any case. Here's the code. Replace the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the IP address.

deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Also noticed now that my cpanel has a "IP Deny Manager" option, that should do the job as well!

cPanel will put that exact line in a .htaccess file.
