How to Configure Access to Your Site with .htaccess

Servebolt runs Apache 2.4 behind the nginx proxy. That means that you can use Apache 2.4 directives to control access. More extensive documentation can be found here.

Restricting access based on IPs

If you want to deny access to a certain IP address using .htaccess, you can add the following to the top of your .htaccess file that is located in the public folder of your site:

<RequireAll>    
  Require all granted        
  Require not ip IPADDRESSTOBLOCK
</RequireAll>

Similarly, you can also lock all access to a certain IP, for example if you only want to be able to access the website yourself:

<RequireAll>    
  Require all granted    
  Require ip IPADDRESSTOALLOW
</RequireAll>

If you want to block or require multiple IPs, you can just add more lines with Require IP/Require not IP with the ipv4, ipv6 or subnets CIDR format.
