How to Use IP Deny Manager

The IP Deny Manager enables you to block unwanted traffic to your website. If someone is misusing your resources, posting harmful content, or should not be allowed access for any reason, this tool lets you restrict them.

Steps to Deny Access to an IP Address or Domain

  1. Log in to cPanel.
  2. Navigate to the Security section and click on the IP Deny Manager icon.
  3. In the blank field next to IP Address or Domain, enter the IP address or domain name you want to block.
  4. For blocking an IP range, enter a partial IP (e.g., 192.168.1.) to block all IPs starting with that sequence.
  5. Click Add to apply the restriction.

  1. Log in to cPanel.
  2. Go to the Security section and open the IP Deny Manager.
  3. Find the blocked IP or domain in the list.
