IP Allow & Block List Pro
Overview
A Pro Security module (slug ip-whitelist-blacklist, display name IP Allow & Block List) that allows or blocks visitors by IPv4/IPv6/CIDR. Blacklist mode (default) or whitelist mode; “Add my IP”; custom blocked page; Cloudflare CF-Connecting-IP awareness and custom real-IP headers. Rules apply site-wide—including wp-admin, login, REST, AJAX, and XML-RPC—with no role bypass. Whitelist with zero IPs does not enforce; saving can be blocked if your current IP is missing from a whitelist. Requires a valid WP PowerSuite license. High lockout risk on dynamic home IPs.
- Office-only staging or admin access
- Sites blocking known abusive IPs/ranges
- Not casual “set and forget” for dynamic residential IPs
