Blocking IP range using Blacklist nor working

Hi @swordcobra

Can you please let me know that IP range which creates issue there and gets 500 server error ?

Regards

Excample 185.182.56.* or 167.172.191.*
The problem occurs with any IP addresses.

Hi @swordcobra

I tried apply both ip address in one of my live sites it works fine there.

I would consider it seems some thing different issue.

It seems issue from .htaccess you may cross check and if mod_authos_core not installed use first other wise second and you may check what exact is making issue and let me know.

#AIOWPS_IP_BLACKLIST_START
<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Deny from 167.172.191.0/24
Deny from 185.182.56.0/24
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
<RequireAll>
Require all granted
Require not ip 167.172.191.0/24
Require not ip 185.182.56.0/24
</RequireAll>
</IfModule>
#AIOWPS_IP_BLACKLIST_END

When I add the IP addresses via the plugin and open the file, I see the following lines in the file.
Apparently adding the tags doesn’t work properly. What can be the reason?

More details to htaccess?

Hi @swordcobra

What server being used there It seems nginx.

If it is nginx it do not support the htaccess so it seems the issue.

You may add in the nginx.conf directly the IP address to block.
