Question

aber mein Klient diesmal hat einen Internet-Provider, der ihm eine statische IP geben tut, aparently jeden Tag oder so, seine IP-chamges ... also ich meine .htaccess haben sich ändern!

gibt es eine Lösung für das?

Answer 1

You could have him use a dynamic DNS service like dyndns.com or no-ip.com. That way he can setup a domain name like someguy.dyndns.com which would always resolve to his ip (he'll probably need to install a small daemon/service/program to automatically update the IP though). Then you can add a rule into your .htaccess like allow from someguy.dyndns.com.

First of all, dynamic IPs are very common, a lot of providers disconnect the client in intervals of 12 or 24 hours, which usually means they get a new IP assigned.

Second, just giving out a username / password combination not only seems safer, but also more hassle-free. You are about to invest time into a solution that's probably not worth it. I also don't see how you would obtain the valid IP address of the client to update your .htaccess file, apart from having the client install a service that updates a dynamic DNS entry mayb - more of a hassle than remembering a login, if you ask me.
