Restrict access to backend

Hi,

I was wondering how to restrict Access to the backend coming from the Internet. I want to be reachable only from the internal network. Is the a proper way to solve this?

thank,
Chris

Through your router?

Otherwise have .htaccess block requests to /contao from the router ip. Below is a start (because it filters on query string you need to change it)

Code:

---

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^123\.255\.123\.255
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} option=com_my_special_component [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [F,L]
