How to block malicious IPs
Within your .htaccess file, either locate the "allow from" list, or create one if necessary. Follow the outline below to add IP addresses:
Order allow,deny
deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
allow from all
These block lists are convenient for blocking countries or areas known for fraudulent orders or traffic-increasing automated bots.
