Hola we will show you the steps to blacklist and whitelist IP addresses via SSH <\/b>using root priviledge.\u00a0But doing this with command line using SSH can save time since you do not have to go through the WHM interface.<\/p>\n

**Note:<\/b>\u00a0You need\u00a0root access\u00a0to your\u00a0web hosting server before following this guide.<\/div>\n

Blacklist IP Address<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Connect to your server via SSH\u00a0as the \u2018root<\/strong>\u2019 user.\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  2. Run the following command, but be sure to replace the example IP address (123.45.67.89) with the address you want to blacklist.\n

    \/scripts\/cphulkdblacklist 123.45.67.89<\/p>\n

    You will then see a response similar to the following:<\/p>\n

    123.34.56.78 has been blacklisted<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n

    At this time the IP address has been blacklisted. repeat these steps for any IP addresses you want to blacklist.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now that you know how to blacklist an IP address via SSH, we will show you how to whitelist IP addresses.<\/p>\n
