Thanks for the URL. Helpful stuff.

Some useful things in there I didn't know, thanks :)

Very nice...:)

If you put all those "tricks" in htaccess and manage to get some traffic, your server will go down for sure. Don't use what you don't need. And for blocking use firewall, not htaccess.

I restrict access to wp-admin by IP. Is there a way to restrict directories like this using iptables?

I am struggling with htaccess files on my blogs since a while... Proper setup caused permalink errors on the blogs. Thanks to MojoHost's excellent support team this was resolved 12 hours ago!! :)

Some excellent tips in this doc!!!! Thanks ;)

I found the Zygote tip especially useful...

Of course, not a good idea to add to much to your .htaccess files. Only what you need/want

:thumbsup

That's why you have them placed in the server config and not in the .htaccess file.

excellent link, thanks!

Thanks, That will come in handy.

you cant restrict access to dirs by iptables, just ips in general, and which protocol.
