<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>

<p>This plugin allows you to lock the content of posts using a Lockee lock (initially available at https://lockee.fr). You can choose from various lock types and set a code to unlock the content.</p>
<p>With this plugin, you can create gamified experiences on your WordPress site by locking content and requiring users to unlock a lock to access it.</p>
<p>To do this, you can create a lock in the dashboard, choose the type of lock (e.g. numbers, colors, piano keys, etc.), and define the valid codes to enter to unlock the content. Once the lock is opened, the content is displayed.</p>
<p>These locks can be displayed in your posts or pages using a shortcode or a block in the Gutenberg editor. You can also customize the appearance of the lock in the “Lockee settings” page, where you can choose themes and colors to match your site’s design.</p>
<p>You can also embed the lock on other websites using the provided iframe code, allowing you to share your locks with a wider audience.</p>
<p>Each lock includes a statistics feature that records the number of times it has been opened, allowing you to monitor user engagement and the effectiveness of your gamification strategies.</p>
<p>The plugin is self-hosted, meaning it does not rely on external services and is free to use for personal and commercial projects.</p>
<p>WARNING : Although this information is hidden from the public view, please note that the type of lock, the chosen code, and the hidden content are stored in plain text in the WordPress database. It is not recommended to use this plugin to store sensitive information or confidential content. Use it for gamification and content engagement purposes only.</p>
