<div align=justify>cPanel allows you to block an IP address or a range of IP addresses from accessing your site (IP Deny Manager tool). This can be useful to protect your site from hacking or other illegal actions. This tutorial will provide you with the information on how to block an IP address.

To block an IP address:

* Log into your '''cPanel => [[Security]] => IP Deny Manager'''.

* Enter the IP into the IP Address or Domain field.

* Click the '''Add''' button.

You can add IP blocks in 5 different ways using IP Deny Manager:

* Single IP Address (Example: ''10.5.3.333'')

* Range (Example: ''10.5.3.3-10.5.3.40'')

* Implied Range (Example: ''10.5.3.3-40'')

* CIDR Format (Example: ''10.5.3.3/32'')

* Implied (Example: ''10''.) 

'''Note''': Entering ''“10.”'' as an implied IP address will set IP block to all addresses that begin with ''10'' (i.e. ''10.*.*.*'')


You can remove an IP block by clicking the {{#icon:Circle_X_button.gif}} button under the '''Remove''' header next to the IP address needed
. 
Now you know how to block an IP from accessing your site and can use the IP Deny Manager to secure your account.</div>
