<p>IP Vault lets you protect your WordPress backend – and any other part of your website – from non verified users.</p>
<p>IP Vault Firewall also preserves your server ressources and bandwidth by blocking hacking attempts before they reach your site.</p>
<h3>How does it work ?</h3>
<p>Requests to protected files and folders are redirected to the <em>Authentication Page</em>. IP Vault unlocks user’s IP addresses using a key<br />
that is emailed for authentication. Once users verify their account, they can access all restricted areas. Users are automatically verified on registration.</p>
<h3>What is protected ?</h3>
<p>Out-of-the box, IP Vault restricts access to <code>.php</code> and <code>.phtml</code> files, as well as <code>wp-admin</code> folder, which are frequently exploited by bad bots and hackers.<br />
You can choose which part of your site to protect. Need to make the whole website private ? No problem, just restrict access to <code>/</code>.</p>
<h3>The story behind this plugin</h3>
<p>In the past 20 years, I have been monitoring a few dozen client sites to prevent malicious access. I have also helped a great number of people to clean their website from malware.<br />
I noticed that even marginal WordPress sites or non-wordpress PHP based sites are constantly exposed to hacking attempts.</p>
<p>Almost all exploits I have seen work by either calling a vulnerable PHP script already on the server, by adding such a script or by injecting their own code into an existing script.</p>
<p>I have tried and tested quite a few security plugins. They can be quite complex to set up and to maintain. Some security plugins try to block access to vulnerable files by comparing requests to a blacklist.<br />
These tend to become quite large and need frequent updates to be efficient. Others use geo-blocking services to block requests from certain countries. However in my experience, hacking attempts can come from just about any location.</p>
<p>I thought there must be a better way using whitelists for verified users instead. And that’s how the idea for IP Vault was born.</p>
<h3>To Dos</h3>
<ul>
<li>add option to get auth code by SMS (requires users to register phone number)</li>
</ul>
