Enhancing Security: Restricting Access by IP Address for Improved Control

thumb_up 1  ·  sell Restricting access by IP address, IP address-based access control, Securing access via IP filtering

For increased protection, if your staff uses fixed IP addresses, you can restrict access to a specific set of IP addresses. This will help to prevent access by hackers and other malicious users.

We recommend performing this task and other security measures immediately after installing WHMCS. For a full list, see More Ways to Secure Your WHMCS Installation.

Restricting Access

To restrict access, create a .htaccess file in your WHMCS admin directory.

Add the correct content for your version of Apache to the new .htaccess file:

Apache 2.2

order deny,allow
allow from 12.34.5.67
allow from 98.76.54.32
deny from all
 

Apache 2.4

Require ip 12.34.5.67
Require ip 98.76.54.32
 

You can specify as many different allow from or Require ip lines as you require. You can allow entire IP subnets by specifying just the first part of an IP address (for example, 12.34.). This is .htaccess IP restriction.

 

The End! should you have any inquiries, we encourage you to reach out to the Vercaa Support Center without hesitation.
