WampServer

Hi, thanks for the nice package, it's working well, even if I did mess up the root password within the first five minutes... :-)

My question is, I'd like to prevent most people from viewing my pages as I develop them, while letting a few remote users in. However, instead of giving the denied users a 403: Forbidden message (indicating there is a page there and possibly inviting hackers), is there some way I can just drop the denied requests altogether, so my IP appears unresponsive?

Regards,
Mark

I think I might have answered my own question. In my firewall I did the following:

1. Allow Inbound TCP (My IP and Friends) to Apache.EXE port 80
2. Disallow Inbound TCP (all others) to Apache.exe port 80
3. Allow Outbound TCP (My IP and Friends) to Apache.exe port 80
4. Disallow Outbound TCP (all others) to Apache.exe port 80

Does this look like a good method to achieve the above?

Thanks for your insight.

instead, edit httpd.conf to allow only certain ip
