4. Add the following code into your **web.config** just under the  tag.

**For blocking specific IP addresses:**

```
      
```

PS: 10.0.0.1 being the IP you wish to block.

**Deny all, but allow specific IPs or networks:**

```
       
```

PS: 127.0.0.1 is allowed so the web-server/localhost can connect to your website and process your files.

If you wish to allow / deny a whole network rather than just one IP, you can add the following between the IP address subnetMask="255.255.255.0" (you will need to chang the subnetMask depending on the range of the network), so the completed line will look like this:

5. After you are done modifying the web.config, click Save.
