IP Guard

Description

IP Guard is a robust plugin that provides functionality to lock WordPress registered user accounts based on the IP address limit set by the administrator.

The plugin includes many features with a simple interface and uses the wp_mail function to send emails for notifications on locked and unlocked activities. This approach helps enhance security by monitoring and restricting access based on IP addresses, providing an additional layer of protection for user accounts.

For example, if the administrator set allowed IP address for registered users should be 2, once a user reached the limit which is 2, the account gets automatically locked and display a error message on the login page. The admin can decide to manually unlock the account or the user can wait 7 days for an automatic unlock.

Tested with:-
Login/Signup Popup (Inline Form + Woocommerce) plugin..
