Restrict Content Pro - IP Restriction

Membership restrictions based on usernames or levels leave one gap: you cannot control where a visitor connects from. This plugin fills it by adding IP-level rules to the content you already protect with Restrict Content Pro. You can limit premium content, internal resources or membership areas to the addresses you trust, and keep unwanted visitors or bots away from them.

You enter individual IP addresses or ranges, in IPv4 or IPv6 format, and choose whether each rule allows or blocks. A dashboard lets you add, edit and remove entries as your needs change. Blocked visitors can see a message you write, and access logs record attempts so you can review suspicious activity. It also applies across a WordPress multisite network.

Features

• IP-based access control: Restrict or allow access to protected content by entering single IP addresses or whole ranges, which keeps unauthorized users out of the areas you want to protect.
• Built for Restrict Content Pro: The plugin works with the Restrict Content Pro membership plugin, adding IP-level rules on top of the content restrictions you have already set up.
• Whitelist and blacklist rules: Mark trusted IP addresses so they bypass restrictions, or block suspicious ones. Both approaches are available, so you can pick the model that fits your site.
• IPv4 and IPv6 support: Create restrictions using either address format, so your rules cover visitors whichever type of network connection they use to reach your site.
• Simple IP management dashboard: Add, edit or remove IP addresses from one dashboard, which makes it easy to keep your restriction list current as people and locations change.
• Custom restriction messages: Show blocked visitors a message you write yourself, so they understand your access policy instead of landing on a confusing or empty page.
• Multisite network support: Apply IP restrictions across every site in a WordPress multisite installation, so protection stays consistent throughout the network.
• Detailed access logs: Review logged IP-based access attempts to spot suspicious activity and decide whether any addresses should be added to your block list.

Best for

• Membership sites already running Restrict Content Pro
• Sites with internal resources limited to known networks
• Multisite administrators who need consistent IP rules
