How do I make the website inaccessible to everybody except a certain IP? So that hackers cant find potential security holes and infect / hack the site?
Hi @ilovewp,
This can be accomplished in multiple ways.
I assume that there are some security plugins that provide options for this. I don’t have much experience with these, so I can’t recommend one.
If you use Cloudflare, you can create certain Firewall rules to block access from any IP and allow only from yours.
If you don’t use Cloudflare, I assume that your host also allows you to manage custom firewall rules.
Also, if you are familiar, you can write custom .htaccess rules to accomplish this. Maybe this article helps:
