Hi, are you saying this feature used to work in your site. If that is correct, what has changed in your site or server?
Thank you
Hi, Sorry for the delay. The notification email went to spam. I have not made changes to the IP blacklist for a long time. So a lot has changed on the server.

Hi,
Can you try the following.
<RequireAll>
Require all granted
Require not ip 1.2.3.4
</RequireAll>
Be sure to replace 1.2.3.4 with the IP address to be blocked.
You may block multiple IPs by repeating the line Require not ip 1.2.3.4 for each address you wish to block.
Hi vupdraft,
That would work if I was editing the .htaccess file myself. The above is a discussion about how the feature of this plugin called ‘blacklist’ is breaking the site by inserting wrongly formated data in the .htaccess file…
Edit: On another domain the feature is working… so I have to go back and look at my blacklist at the original domain – maybe there is something wrong in that original list of IPs – something is probably in the wrong format there…

I tried with just one ip address and it still broke the site.
I tried to reinstall the plugin but it did nothing – still broke the site.
I am puzzled as this is on the same server as the other domain.
Hi,
The ip: 159.203.0.0/16 is not a valid IP format, is this what you are entering into the blacklist manager or has All in one changed it to this?
To answer your question 5 months ago. I type 159.203.*.* into the black list feature and 159.203.0.0/16 is what appears in blacklist section in htaccess
The reason I am back here is the same issue on another domain. I have lots of failed login attempts (brute force) and want to limit them. So I tried to blacklist some IPs
Immediately after adding the IPs to the blacklist, the site is giving errors “Internal Server Error”
Server log contains:
[core:alert] /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.co.za/httpdocs/.htaccess: deny requires at least two arguments, 'from' followed by hostnames or IP-address wildcards, referer: https://refererdomain.co.za/
This is the section of htaccess causing the error:
#AIOWPS_IP_BLACKLIST_START
deny 135.181.61.155;
deny 74.208.87.43;
#AIOWPS_IP_BLACKLIST_END
