If you are using Apache as your webserver in a default configuration then you most likely have mod_rewrite enabled.
In that case you can create a file “.htaccess” in the directory you want to protect.
/path/to/www/example.com/adminpanel.htaccess
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from 10.10.10.10
Then simply replace with the the IP address that you want to allow through and it will only allow requests from that IP address.
