Block Range of IP while excluding others

[smower Profile]

Hello, I now have the following code in my htaccess file to block ip address ranges:

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^(?:84\..*\..*\..*|83\.211\..*\..*|85\.12\.25\..*|83\.233\..*\..*)
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [F]

If I needed to make exclusions is there an easy way. For example, say I need to block all the ranges that start with 84

84\..*\..*\..*

except
84\.211\..*\..*
84\.15\..*\..*
84\.120\..\..*

Thanks!
Shawn

Hello,

You can try using the following:

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^(?:84\..*\..*\..*|83\.211\..*\..*|85\.12\.25\..*|83\.233\..*\..*)
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^84\.(?:211|15|120)\..*\..*
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [F]

Thank you! So will this method also work?

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^(?:84\..*\..*\..*|83\.211\..*\..*|85\.12\.25\..*|83\.233\..*\..*)
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^(?:84\.211\..*\..*|84\.15\..*\..*|84\.120\..*\..*|83\.233\..*\..*|83\.119\..*\..*|83\.114\.24\..*|85\.121\..*\..*|85\.10\.15\..*)
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [F]

Thank you,
