My site under attack

  • I have banned the IP …

    You manually added the ip address to the Ban Users box ?

    If so please verify you have the following lines in your .htaccess file:

    SetEnvIF REMOTE_ADDR “^96\.127\.149\.82$” DenyAccess
    SetEnvIF X-FORWARDED-FOR “^96\.127\.149\.82$” DenyAccess
    SetEnvIF X-CLUSTER-CLIENT-IP “^96\.127\.149\.82$” DenyAccess
    order allow,deny
    deny from env=DenyAccess
    deny from 96.127.149.82
    allow from all

    If the ip address is banned correctly in the .htaccess file any traffic from that ip address will be blocked at the web server level.

    However the attacker might switch to another ip …

    Hi, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Firstly I’m glad to say it has finally after many thousand attempts now stopped.

    I did enter the IP in the ban user box in the normal way but it does not show in the htaccess file but all the others I banned do show in the htaccess file in the order I banned them.

    Can I manually add the to htaccess or is there a bigger problem?

    Thanks

    Okay forget the above. I tried clearing the cache and and adding the IP again. This time it has saved in the htaccess file which hopefully will do the job if it happens again.

    Thanks again for your help
