| Sometimes your website’s security (or your entire web server’s) can be at risk because of malicious people. And it’s not necessarily a user that’s attacking your system; it could be an automated script that just “found” your server. Attacks are not always in the attempt of breaking in your system. It could be a DoS (Denial of Service) or a spammer trying to post comments on your blog or forum. While there are some automated solutions to this (like APF or cpHulk), there are times when human intervention is needed. In this tutorial, I will show you how you can block IP addresses manually with cPanel. This tutorial assumes that you’re already logged in cPanel. Your control panel skin and layout maybe different from my InMotion Hosting account.
You should now see the IP address blocked at the bottom of the screen:
To give access back to the blocked IP, simply click on the Remove link next to the corresponding entry. |
