I have a local Web site that I would like to tighten access to only those within the United States; or perhaps only within Florida. It’s a Word Press site that has gotten hacked due to some weak code. I’ve seen two sources of IP address lists for .htaccess “allow deny” control by IP Address.

IP by Country/Continents:
http://www.countryipblocks.net/continents/

Wizcrafts List:
http://www.wizcrafts.net/htaccess-blocklists.html

What is the best approach for blocking everything except United States traffic? How would you approach the deny/allow? Would you deny other Countries or try to allow only the U.S.?

Thanks for any comments, Jeff

    Add this list to the .htaccess located on the root folder of your server.
    It will only allow connections from the US.

    ex .htaccess file:

    allow from IP
    203.31.234.0/24
    129.230.176.0/20
    etc…
