# APACHE Web Server

## Step 1 <a href="#step-1" id="step-1"></a>

Open the [**.htaccess file generator**](http://toshop.com/go/c.htaccess-generator), enter your GoodAccess Gateway IP and click on **Generate .htaccess File.**

## Step 2

Set **I want to allow these IP addresses and ban everyone else.**

## Step 3

Create a .htaccess file with the generated content and copy it to your web server. Place it in the directory containing the part of the website that should be protected.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Please note:** In case the .htaccess file doesn't work, check whether your APACHE is configured to **AllowOverride All**. See [APACHE AllowOverride documentation](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#allowoverride).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
There are more ways to configure your APACHE web server, allowing access only through the GoodAccess network. See [APACHE Access Control documentation](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/access.html) and [APACHE .htaccess file documentation](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/htaccess.html).
