Whitelisted IPs vs. ISP not providing fixed IPs

    One of my customer’s employees works from home and she needs access to the admin dashboard, so I whitelisted her IP.
    The problem is that her IP address is dynamic, and her ISP provides fix IP addresses only to companies.
    The customer still wants to restrict access to the WordPress admin dashboard using the White IP Access List.
    So what could be the solution? (other than forcing their employees to pay a business subscription to her ISP at home)

    If you want to use access lists, you need to either specify the whole network (IP range) that ISP allocates for the private clients or use a static address. Access lists make small sense when it comes to dynamic IP addresses. You have to operate some static component. In your case, it’s an employee network.
