Hello,
is there anyway that provide custom ip range in .htaccess for Allow from ?
for exampel following range :
10.0.0.140-10.0.0.190
But what would you want to do that? Instead allow specific IP's allowing IP ranges can cause security threats, you just don't want to provide access to anyone, eventually when you don't know who's using those IP's.
If you want to block a RANGE of IP numbers, you can use the following:
order allow,deny
deny from 66.98.125.222-240
allow from all.
This will DENY access to anyone with the IP numbers 66.98.125.222 through 66.98.125.240. You
So the same is true of the ALLOW.. just change the wording from "allow" to "deny" and vice versa.
We do this here on a number of our internal IPs for when we're testing sites etc.

Will it be cleaner? Yes as you're stopping it at the firewall, however the original poster asked specifically for .htaccess allow.
Can you do all this on a firewall and in IPTables, yes, but many people do not have access to firewall systems and instead must resolve with .htaccess information.
