    hello awesome people of cpanel
    i am looking to restrict access to a specific page in my website to a number of ip addresses
    i already looked into blocking ip option in cpanel or in htaccess but this will block the entire website - i just want to restrict a single page per example the CMS login page
    is this doable on whm/cpanel ?!
    thank you

    In your htaccess file, you could try the following format:
    Code:
       <Files file.ext>
       Order deny,allow
       Deny from all
       Allow from 127.0.0.1
       Allow from 127.0.0.2
   </Files>
    where file.ext is the file you want to restrict the access to, and 127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.2 etc are the IPs you want to allow access to that file (add as many as you need)

    If the file you are trying to protect is in a sub-folder, you might need to create an additional htaccess file with the above code in the folder that contains the file

    Add a new .htaccess file into the folder /admin with the code above, replacing the 'file.ext' with login.php and changing the IPs as required
