htaccess “order” Deny, Allow, Deny

Question

I would like to allow only one country access, but exclude proxies within this country.

This is what I have (shortened version for convenience)

Answer 1

Change your code to

deny from all

allow from 139.82.0.0/16
allow from 143.54.0.0/16
allow from 186.192.0.0/11
allow from 186.224.0.0/11

This way your htaccess will deny every except those that you explicitly allow with allow from..

A proxy within the allow range can easily be overwritten with an additional deny from.. rule.
