    Hi!
    Thanks for your plugin! I would like to restrict my website for the entire world and give access only to certain IPs. Would it be possible to do that with your plugin? If so, can you please tell me how?
    Thank you so much!!!!

    If you mean to get access to the admin dashboard and to register on the website, then yes.

    1. Add your IP address or a set of IPs you want to permit to log into your website to the White IP Access List.
    2. Add the string *.*.*.* to the Black IP Access List.

    Thanks so much for your reply!
    I think I misunderstood the purpose of your plugin. I am looking for a way (maybe with a plugin?) that would allow me to restrict the access of the entire site. So, only people with a specific IP address would surf my site. The rest would only see a blank page or a custom page saying they are not able to access.

    Could your plugin help me with that?

    Thanks for your time!

    Unfortunately, the answer is no. The purpose of the plugin is to defend a website and mitigates attacks. It’s not a content protection plugin. It’s better to use access rules in the .htaccess file in the root folder for that goal. There are a lot of guides on that.

    Thanks Gioni!
    Have a good one!

    I have another question about this, can I block ipv6 subnet? How?
    My ipv6 address changes, if I block ipv with *.*.*.*, don’t I block myself?
