IP addresses use this format. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx There will always be 4 octets in an IP address and each octet is separated with a dot. If you want to block all IP addresses in a range then you would use 3 octets. Deny from 99.88.77. will block all IP addresses from 99.88.77.1 to 99.88.77.256 * Example of adding additional IP addresses * ``` # BLOCK/FORBID Spammers etc Order Allow,Deny Deny from 86.138.90.10 Deny from 99.88.77.
