ManageWP User Guide: Restrict Access to ManageWP by IP Address
1. Restrict Access to ManageWP by IP Address
We take security very seriously at ManageWP. We use OpenSSL
implementation to communicate between the ManageWP dashboard
and your remote websites. We also offer two factor authentication to
make access to your ManageWP account watertight.
For additional security, you may want to restrict logging in to your
ManageWP account by IP address. This will mean that only people in
certain locations, specified by you, will be able to log in to your
ManageWP account. This additional layer of protection will even further
harden your security.
You can specify different IPs:
single IP address - e.g. 123.455.23.23 - i.e. a single computer
global IP address or range - e.g. 62.234.12.* - i.e. a group of
computers on a network.
To restrict access to your ManageWP account by IP address, navigate
to your Username (top right corner) > Settings > Advanced.
Insert the IP addresses which you wish to restrict access to. One should
be added per line.
Be careful when choosing this option as it will restrict access to your
account immediately.
