IP Blocker in cPanelPrint

  • 0

If you want to protect your website from unwanted visitors or malicious traffic, the IP Blocker tool in cPanel is your best friend. Essex Web Hosts makes it easy for beginners to block specific IP addresses or ranges, improving your website’s security and performance. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to use IP Blocker effectively—no technical jargon needed!

Quick Tip: Blocking suspicious IPs can help prevent spam, hacking attempts, and reduce server load. Keep an eye on your blocked list to avoid accidentally blocking legitimate visitors.

What's Inside

  • ✅ How to access IP Blocker in cPanel
  • ✅ How to block a single IP address
  • ✅ How to block an IP range
  • ✅ Managing your blocked IPs

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Log in to your cPanel dashboard

Start by logging into your Essex Web Host's cPanel account. You can access this from your hosting control panel or directly via your domain’s cPanel login URL

2. Navigate to the “IP Blocker” tool

Scroll down to the “Security” section and click on “IP Blocker.” This tool lets you block specific IP addresses or ranges that you want to restrict from accessing your website.

3. Enter the IP address or range to block

In the “Add an IP or Range” box, type the IP address (e.g., 123.45.67.89) or an IP range (e.g., 123.45.67.1-123.45.67.255) you want to block, then click “Add.”

4. Manage your blocked IPs

Below the input box, you’ll see a list of all IPs you’ve blocked. You can remove any IP from this list by clicking “Delete” next to the entry if you want to unblock it.

Final Tips from Essex Web Hosts

  • Regularly review your blocked IP list to avoid blocking genuine visitors.
  • Use IP ranges carefully to block large groups of malicious IPs efficiently.
  • Contact Essex Web Hosts support if you need help managing IP blocks or have questions.
