    In cpanel, we can block an IP access a website, but in WHM, there seems no such option to block an IP from access the whole server. Am I missing something?

    If you have root access to the server you best bet would be to install APF to block the IP’s from the server. As the cpanel ip block is on per account basses.

    Yes I have APF installed. If there is some web interface for doing that, that would be great.

    There is no web interface that I know of but all you have to do is edit "deny_hosts.rules" and restart/flush APF and it will block the IP given.

    Drop APF, and use CSF instead (http://www.configserver.com/cp/csf.html). It's written by Chirpy (the mod here) and comes complete with a WHM control panel, as well as many more features not found in APF or BFD.
