Use the power of the cloud and a global CDN to restrict access to your login page.
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.
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.
<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>
There are other plugins which can restrict your login page by geographic location. 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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

CGC Maintenance Mode

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.
