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.
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.
It’s extremely simple to use:
<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>
Once your site is ready to be made available again, simple uncheck the “Enable” box.

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



Almost there

This plugin allows you to put your site into maintenance mode, by allowing only users with specified IP addresses to view the site.

Limit access your site to visitors who are logged in or accessing the site from a set of specified IP addresses. Send restricted visitors to the log in page, redirect them, or display a message or page. A great solution for Extranets, publicly hosted Intranets, or parallel development / staging sites.
Adds a number of new configuration options to the Reading settings panel as well as the Network Settings panel in multisite. From these panels you can:
<ul>
<li>Enable or disable site restriction</li>
<li>Change the restriction behavior: send to login, redirect, display a message, display a page</li>
<li>Add IP addresses to an unrestricted list, including ranges</li>
<li>Quickly add your current IP to the unrestricted list</li>
<li>Customize the redirect location, including an option to send them to the same requested path and set the HTTP status code for SEO friendliness</li>
<li>Define a simple message to show restricted visitors, or select a page to show them – great for “coming soon” teasers!</li>
</ul>

Restricted Site Access

This plugin serves what it says. I was trying to solve an issue to restrict my site to specific IP addresses. This plugin solves it. Kudos team. 

Super Helpful Tool

Thanks for this. Works 100%, super helpful. 

Nice work

I have activated the plugin as a replacement for a maintenance plugin on a WordPress instance that I use as an extranet. It does exactly what I was looking for. The settings are absolutely sufficient and completely fulfill their purpose.
Great !!!

Great Plugin for Intranet/Extranet

Limit access to visitors who are logged in or allowed by IP addresses. Includes many options for handling blocked visitors.
