Require ip x.x.x.x not working in Apache 2.4

Solution 1:

Example of access restriction from IP addresses for Apache 2.4:

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
      <RequireAny>
        Require ip 127.0.0.1
        Require ip ::1
        Require ip x.x.x.x
      </RequireAny>
    </IfModule> 
</Directory>

Don't forget to restart apache service by running this command:

service httpd restart

Also don't use directory / for security reasons.
