[solution] Only allow your IP to admin panel ( and deny all others )

Here's a howto, it is really easy to block ALL ips except your IP to any admin panel.

Don't worry, if you have a frontend file doing things like : include('./admin/functionfile.php'); that will still work 🙂

Here we go, I assume your IP adres is 123.123.123.123 and 456.456.456.456 if you are at two locations ( home and work for instance ).
Keep in mind that a combination with username/password with this htaccess trick is better then rely on only one solution.

There is one major drawback ... if you need access to your admin panel FAST and you are not at the IP adresses / locations ... you cannot enter the panel unless you have some form of remote desktop / VNC server running....

The code is self explanatary right ?
