It’s me again! Recently I posted in the community about some specific 301 redirects and it seems I’m again stuck on this topic.
I’m generating URLS for redirection with .htaccess and what I need to add now is to some specific redirects to be accessed only by a specific IP address.
Let’s say I want to have all redirects to a specific folder redirected/accessed by only a specific IP.

Hi @brendRos,
I’m glad to see you using the community more and more that’s really cool!
As for your question, you can do something like the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
RewriteRule ^RedirectedFolder($|/) - [F]
where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is your IP address. For example, if your IP address was 10.32.43.89, the block will look like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !=10.32.43.89
RewriteRule ^RedirectedFolder($|/) - [F]
Also RedirectedFolder is the folder you mentioned you want to be redirected at.
