Are you facing the issue of IP getting blocked repeatedly? If the answer is Yes, then it may have happened due to Mod Security. What is Mod Security? ModSecurity is a module that protects your website from various types of attacks. Mod Security protects a website from hackers, brute force attacks, cross-site request forgery(CSRF), and many other threats. Although it sometimes creates a problem, we do not recommend you to disable it but instead fix your software’s vulnerability. Disabling ModSecurity can help you determine whether ModSecurity blocks your IP or not. However, if your IP is blocked for a different reason, then contact us.

Please, don’t forget to replace the allowed IP address with your IP address. order deny, allow deny from all allow from YOUR-IP-ADDRESS-HERE Replace the Your-IP-Address-Here text with your IP address. You can test this by accessing the wp-admin directory from another IP address, not mentioned in your htaccess file.

You can prevent unauthorized access to your htaccess file by adding this rule to the file: # .htaccess protection order allow, deny deny from all satisfy all
