Rewritemap to block list of IP Addresses

[simonchalk Profile]

Hi

We currently use this method to block ip addresses, but this is now getting unmanagable, since we have many ip's we want to block, so please advise if its possible to use rewriteMap to achieve the same thing and if so what rule s I would need?

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} 192\.168\.1\.1|192\.168\.3\.1
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [F,L]

Regards,

Simon.

hELLO,

please, try using the following:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteMap mapfile txt:mapfile.txt [NC]

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond ${mapfile:%1|NOT_FOUND} !NOT_FOUND
RewriteRule (.*) - [F,L]

and your mapfile would contain IP addresses as in following:

Code: Select all

192.169.0.1        192.169.0.1
192.169.0.2        192.169.0.2
192.139.50.1       192.139.50.1

Regards
Andrew
