Allow access to a route/url from specific ip address

Question

As the title said, how to use htaccess to allow certain IP to access controller /admin in Codeigniter?

Thank you!

Answer 1

simply in your controller write-

if (!isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) || $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] != $your_ip_address)) {
   exit();
}

Answer 2

You can do this in the application level but if you really want it in the .htaccess then:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

#url to apply rule to
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /admin$

#ip to allow access
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^111\.222\.333\.444$

#send to root if ip is not allowed
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.example.com [R=301,L]
