<p>Use the power of the cloud and a global CDN to restrict access to your login page.</p>
<p>CloudGuard brings global and cloud driven protection to your login page. Using Cloudflare’s free Geolocation service, this super lightweight plugin restricts access to your login page, allowing access to only your chosen countries.  This means that any login attempts from the rest of the world will be automatically blocked.</p>
<p>Additionally, this plugin tracks any unauthorized login attempts and displays them on a <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/cloudguard/screenshots/" rel="ugc">world map</a> in your dashboard.</p>
<h3>Main Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Protect your login page globally.</li>
<li>Reduce server load.</li>
<li>Country based IP ranges constantly updated by Cloudflare.</li>
<li>Monitor login attempts via your dashboard.</li>
<li>Block access to the login page or redirect to a URL.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Why Cloudflare’s Geolocation?</h3>
<p>There are other plugins which can <strong>restrict your login page by geographic location</strong>. However, these plugins use your server to detect the IP and compare this to a geographic location. This adds extra overhead to your site, takes up space on your server, and requires frequent updates to keep the IP list relevant.</p>
<p>CloudGuard is different. Since we leverage Cloudflare’s geolocation service, your server simply has to read the data, rather than compute and store it locally. Cloudflare does the grunt work, leaving your site safe, secure and optimized.</p>
<p>Note: This plugin requires that you have an account (including the free option) on <a href="https://www.cloudflare.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Cloudflare</a> with <a href="https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168236-What-does-Cloudflare-IP-Geolocation-do-" rel="nofollow ugc">Geolocation</a> enabled.</p>

CloudGuard

I consider it essential. You can do the same thing with Firewall Rules in Cloudflare this is highly visible in Wordpress' dashboard unlike Cloudflare's stats.

<p>This WordPress plugin is designed to correct the inaccurate display of commenter IP addresses on websites utilizing Cloudflare CDN. By processing proxy IPs from Cloudflare, this plugin ensures that the real commenter IP information is retrieved and recorded. This is crucial for comment moderation, spam identification, and website security analysis.</p>
<p>Please note: This plugin is provided by an independent developer and is not an official Cloudflare product.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>Ensure your WordPress website is correctly configured and proxied through Cloudflare CDN.</li>
<li>Once activated, the plugin will automatically correct IP addresses in the following functionalities to display the real visitor IP:
<ul>
<li><strong>User Comments:</strong> The IP address recorded upon comment submission.</li>
<li><strong>Password Reset Emails:</strong> The IP address included in password reset emails sent to users.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<p>This plugin requires no additional configuration; it works automatically upon activation.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the Cloudflare API to retrieve the latest list of Cloudflare CDN IP addresses. This is necessary to ensure the plugin can accurately handle IP-related functionalities, such as fixing comment IP detection when Cloudflare’s CDN is in use.</p>
<h3>What the service is and what it is used for</h3>
<p>The plugin uses the Cloudflare API (specifically the <code>https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/ips</code> endpoint) to fetch the current list of Cloudflare CDN IP addresses.</p>
<h3>What data is sent and when</h3>
<p>The plugin <strong>does not send any user-specific data</strong> to the Cloudflare API. It only makes a simple GET request to the API endpoint to retrieve the IP list. This request occurs when the plugin needs to refresh the IP list.</p>
<h3>Service provider</h3>
<p>The service for retrieving Cloudflare IP lists is provided by Cloudflare, Inc..</p>
<h3>Links to terms of service and privacy policy</h3>
<ul>
<li>Terms of Service: https://www.cloudflare.com/terms/</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/</li>
</ul>
<p>The retrieval of this information (Cloudflare IP list) ensures the plugin functions correctly with Cloudflare’s CDN services. No personal or sensitive user data is transmitted during this process.</p>
<h3>Libraries Used</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="https://github.com/mlocati/ip-lib" rel="nofollow ugc">IPLib</a></strong>: Used for parsing and matching IP addresses.</li>
