This can be a very effective way to protect your Joomla! administrator directory. Any other directory in public_html can be protected in the same way. This method only works if you have a static IP address assigned to you. Anyone attempting to browse such directories using a different IP Address will get a 403 Forbidden error.
How To Restrict Directory Access by IP Address
- In the directory you wish to protect, open (or create) a file called, .htaccess. (Note the dot at the beginning of the file name.)
- Add the following code to this file, replacing 100.100.100.100 in this example with the static IP address you plan to allow:
- Order Deny,Allow
- Deny from all
- Allow from 100.100.100.100
Optional: You can enter partial IP Addresses, such as, 100.100.100. This allows access to a range of addresses.
Optional: You can add multiple addresses by separating them with commas.
100.100.100.101, 100.100.100.102
