Block rss in Magento

Question

I need to block this URL: https://example.com/rss/catalog/notifystock/ on my site.

I wrote following code to block:

RewriteRule ^(index.php/?)?rss/ - [L,R=403]

but its block the following URL: https://example.com/index.php/rss/catalog/notifystock/

It has not blocked this URL: https://example.com/rss/catalog/notifystock/

Can anyone Please help

Answer 1

Try and use this rule instead:

RewriteRule rss - [F]

What that should do is block access to any page that has rss in its URL. You could also use:

<FilesMatch "rss$">
    order allow,deny
    deny from all
</FilesMatch>

So if a file matches rss, then it will deny access to everyone. However, if you're using Apache 2.4, then it would be:

<FilesMatch "rss$">
    Require all denied
</FilesMatch>
