deansaddigh Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 While im learing htacess etc, i thought what a good idea to not allow acess to the admin folder unless your from an ipdress i i allow, as im on a static ipdress, this could illiminate possible hacks. Im i write in my thinking is this a good idea? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/212356-is-it-a-good-idea-to-htacess-admin-folder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Provided your ip address is static then yes. There is nothing wrong with that. You'll want to look up on the Allow from directive Alternatively you could password protect your admin directive using http authentication.

lifelinux Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I think the best solution is using VPN to connect admincp and don't public admincp out internet.
