Use .htaccess to block a range of IP
Question:
I am having troubles with serverpronto bots attacking my site in droves.
How would I block this range of ip address in .htaccess using deny:
69.60.114.0 – 69.60.125.255
for example, to block one ip I would have:
Deny from 64.251.14.99But how would I block the whole range given?
Thank you in advance
