When you’re updating a website you often want all urls to point to a maintenance page but still have access yourself.

Using .htaccess & mod_rewrite to Redirect Everyone Except Your IP

You can do this with mod_rewrite and an .htaccess file:

# Get mod_rewrite going
Options -MultiViews +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

# Redirect everyone who's not from your IP
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !123.456.789.10 [NC]
RewriteRule !maintenance.html$ maintenance.html [R=307,L]

Replace 123.456.789.10 with your own IP address
