# How to Block an IP Address in cPanel (IP Blocker)

**In short:** To block an IP address from reaching your website: go to cPanel, then Security, then IP Blocker. Enter an IP address, a range of addresses or a domain name, and click Add. Blocked addresses appear at the bottom of the page, where you can delete any of them to remove the block.

If an IP address is attacking your site, sending spam through your forms or using too many resources, you can block it from your cPanel.

**1.** Log in to cPanel (see [how to log in to cPanel](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/how-to-log-in-to-cpanel/)).

**2.** In the **Security** section, click **IP Blocker**.

**3.** Enter what you want to block. Examples are shown under the box:

- A single IP: 192.168.1.18
- A range: 192.168.1.10-192.168.1.20
- A CIDR block: 192.168.1.0/24
- A domain name, which is resolved to its IP address.

**4.** Click **Add**. The address appears in the list of blocked IPs at the bottom of the page.

**5.** To remove a block, click **Delete** next to the address.

If you cannot reach your own site, your IP may be blocked by the server firewall instead; see [cannot open your website or cPanel from your computer](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/cannot-access-website-cpanel-ip-blocked/).

## How do I find the IP address to block?

You can see your visitors' IP addresses in your access logs; see [how to view your website visitors in cPanel](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/view-website-visitor-stats-awstats/). Look for an address that sends an unusual number of requests or keeps trying pages such as wp-login.php.

## Good to know

- IP Blocker only blocks access to **your website**. It does not block email or FTP.
- If your site runs through **Cloudflare**, it is better to block the address in your Cloudflare dashboard (IP Access Rules), so it is stopped before it reaches your hosting.
