Allow IP blocks with htaccess, block rest

[fr600]

I'm looking forward to make my server private. I'd like to grant access to some specific IP blocks and deny access from the rest. I know it can be done using htaccess but I don't know how. These are some of the blocks that I'd like to allow access:

 

122.202.0.0 - 122.202.31.255

158.165.224.0 - 158.165.231.255

158.145.176.0 - 158.145.191.255

178.141.228.0 - 178.141.228.127

180.78.20.172 - 180.78.20.179

195.12.167.228 - 195.12.167.231

217.110.163.192 - 217.110.163.223

 

Moreover, I'd like to redirect the banned users to some other website like: www.google.com

 

Could you please help with this? Thanks.

I took this from a website, in your .htaccess file you will write this:

 

## USER IP BANNING
<Limit GET POST>
order allow,deny
deny from 42.12.5.34
deny from 212.173.53.
deny from 69.242.
allow from all
</Limit>

 

Heres how it works

 

    * 42.12.5.34 (Blocks a specific IP address)

    * 212.173.53. (Blocks ALL IPs within the range 212.173.53.xxx)

    * 69.242. (Blocks ALL IPs within the range 69.242.xxx.xxx)

    * 81.158.3 (Blocks ALL IPs within the range 81.158.3xx.xxx.xxx)

Does this mean that for "122.202.0.0 - 122.202.31.255" I'll have to write 32 different entries?

 

I can't do that, otherwise my htaccess will be like 1000 line long. The list IP I showed here is just an example which will help me to understand how it works and I can use the knowledge with the rest.

 

There must be a shorter way. I found like 100s of websites like that, but that doesn't help. Hoping for a better solution.
