Deny all IPs but one

Question

I'm trying to block all IP'sbut my own but it doesn't work for me. I use the following code as answered in Deny all, allow only one IP through htaccess

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from MyIP

But it lets other IP's access too. My IP is static and my site is hosted by a thirth party hosting service

I already checked and my .htaccess file is loaded cause my rewrite rules work — Paul Roefs, Dec 22 '16 at 09:20

I am not sure if your ip is static or not, Please try it like this,

<Files ~ ".*">
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files>

127.0.0.0 denotes your localhost.

Edit

Remove access rule and try it with mod_rewrite,

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^111\.111\.111\.111$ #your IP
    RewriteRule .* - [F]
</IfModule>

its not for a local website and my ip is static – Paul Roefs Dec 22 '16 at 09:27
Localhost means your system on which site is hosted even if it is live website, and if your ip is static then it should work, where are you denying the access please provide full rule. – Abhishek Gurjar Dec 22 '16 at 09:29
but when my site is hosted by a thirth party it doesn't work, which is the case here – Paul Roefs Dec 22 '16 at 09:32
after some more testing I discovered my code works for all but index.php, what could be the problem? – Paul Roefs Dec 22 '16 at 10:01
I asked you to show full rule like you are denying the access to directory or group of files after that i am able to tell. – Abhishek Gurjar Dec 22 '16 at 10:06
I showed my full rule, I wanna deny access to all files in the site – Paul Roefs Dec 22 '16 at 10:26

If you did the following code:

order deny,allow deny from all allow from MyIP

and it also allowed other peoples ips then it has something to do with your host. Cause I ran the code on my site and it worked fine.
