Block unwanted users from your site using .htaccess

My website is being attacked from different IP addresses. It is fake request but I am seeing common user agent. Is there anyway to block such traffic using .htaccess and user agent?

Yes, it is possible to block the access based on user-agent. You can refer our following KB:

Block unwanted users from your site using .htaccess

In this KB, refer section "Block bad users based on their User-Agent string" for more details.

Hope this will help you.

yes you can block user from .htacces file htaccess which is a file you can access if you're running Apache as your web server By denying an IP address' access in Apache web server's configuration file, the banning process can be executed before your site is fully loaded.
