Title: Redirecting All Users to HTTPS, Except for Specific IPs Using .htaccess

Introduction:
In web development, sometimes you may want to redirect all users accessing your website to a specific URL, such as www.example.com. However, there might be certain cases where you need to exclude specific IP addresses from this redirection. In this article, we will explore how to achieve this using the .htaccess file.

NextJs htaccess setting

The content of the .htaccess for nextjs application is

# Redirect traffic to your port 3001
DirectoryIndex
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ http://127.0.0.1:3001/$1 [P,L]
 

to exclude a file from this rule (EX: test.txt) we can add this like 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !test\.txt [NC]

Block wp-includes folder and files Wordpress

# Block wp-includes folder and files
 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteBase /
 RewriteRule ^wp-admin/includes/ - [F,L]
 RewriteRule !^wp-includes/ - [S=3]
 RewriteRule ^wp-includes/[^/]+\.php$ - [F,L]
 RewriteRule ^wp-includes/js/tinymce/langs/.+\.php - [F,L]
 RewriteRule ^wp-includes/theme-compat/ - [F,L]
 </IfModule>

Prevent execute PHP file in wp-content/uploads directory

wp-content/uploads directory

your wpcontent/uploads directory should be considered a potential entry point and can be exploited for number of wordpress hacks . The biggest potential threat is the uploading of PHP files.

If you can browse /wpcontent/plugins/ – the enumeration of plugins and versions becomes much easier! Exploiting this can allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information that could aid in further attacks.

</IfModule>

Wordpress htaccess configuration

as you know that WordPress is one of the most famous CMS in the world but unforunatily it is not secure enough and we have to protect it somehow abd also we need to setup some cache configuration in the htaccess

First thing you need to do is to disable directory listing by adding this line to .htaccess

Options All -Indexes

 

the other thing you need to do is to setup the objects cache (image/css files/ js files)

this is one of the best code we can use
