How to block an IP address in cPanel
Open IP Blocker in cPanel and enter the IP address or range you want to block. This can help when you see repeated unwanted requests, spam attempts or abusive visits from a specific source. Use the tool carefully, because blocking the wrong range can stop real visitors or team members accessing your website. For serious attacks, contact support because firewall-level protection may be more suitable than account-level blocking. Keep notes of why an IP was blocked and remove old blocks when they are no longer needed.
