This is a cool little trick I discovered where you can take any file on your server and lock it to where only IPs you specify can access it. All others get a 403 forbidden error. This is done using the .htaccess file on your sever root, and is perfect for securing admin panels. Add this code to your .htaccess: <Files FILE-YOU-WANT-TO-PROTECT.php> Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from 77.77.777.77 <--Your IP </Files> You can add multiple IPs by adding a space after the 1st one like so: Allow from 77.77.777.77 55.55.555.55 <--Your Multiple IPs You can make it allow a specific IP range (good for dynamic IPs) by using a slash like so: Allow from 77.77.777.0/777 <--Your IP Range at the end Enjoy!
