<p>Easily put your site into maintenance mode with this plugin so that you can perform updates. The plugin works by taking a selection of IP addresses and comparing them to the visitor’s IP address.</p>
<p>Users whose IP addresses match those specified in the settings page can view the site normally. Users who do not have IP access are directed either you a WordPress page (which you pick), or to any external url.</p>
<p>It’s extremely simple to use:</p>
<ul>
<li>activate the plugin</li>
<li>go to the “Maintenance Mode” settings</li>
<li>check the “Enable Box”</li>
<li>enter the IP addresses that should have access</li>
<li>choose whether to redirect non-authorized users to a page or url</li>
<li>choose the page or enter the url</li>
</ul>
<p>Once your site is ready to be made available again, simple uncheck the “Enable” box.</p>


CGC Maintenance Mode

Good options, no check if the URL is on the same domain which causes redirect loop.
