<p>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.</p>
<p>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:</p>
<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.
