Blocking /administrator for security

Mick Dawlings Posted in Technical Support 1 year ago

From what I've seen and maybe I missed something, the only use that needs to use the /administrator url is the administrator/s of the site.

I've not noticed if anything else needs this such as search engines etcl.

If this is the case, to add a bit more security to the site then, can we block access to the /administrator url allowing only known IP/s.

I would just use the Apache allow/deny directives to https:///www.domain.com/administrator for all but admin IP/s.

Any problem in doing this?

Thank you.

The answer to your question is there is no problem doing that.

I also forgot to add that I've tested this and it seems to be working without issue. Just want to make sure I'm not blocking something that should be open.
