Access Guard is a comprehensive WordPress plugin that enhances access protection, controls user permissions, and provides IP banning functionality. With Access Guard, you can safeguard your website from malicious users, protect sensitive content, and strengthen overall security measures.

Free Features

  • IP Blocking: Easily ban specific IP addresses or IP ranges to prevent unwanted traffic and protect your website from malicious users.
  • IP Whitelisting: Restrict access to only a specific list of IP addresses or ranges, blocking everyone else. Administrators are always exempt to prevent accidental lockouts.
  • Customizable Ban Messages: Personalize the messages displayed to blocked users, providing instructions or redirecting them to alternative content.
  • User Role-Based Access Control: Define access permissions for different user roles, restricting content visibility or interaction based on user roles.
  • Restricted Content: Mark individual posts or pages as restricted so only users who can read content may view them.
  • Basic Brute Force Protection: Failed login attempts are automatically throttled — after 5 failed attempts from the same IP, further login attempts from that IP are locked out for 20 minutes.

Coming Soon

  • Password Protection: Add password protection to specific pages or posts, granting access only to those who enter the correct password.
  • Time-Based Access Control: Set time-based restrictions to make content available for a limited period, perfect for time-sensitive promotions or temporary exclusivity.
  • Activity Logging: Keep track of user activities, including IP ban events and access attempts, to monitor website security.

Paid Features ( Coming Soon )

  • Advanced Brute Force Protection: Enhance login security with advanced measures like CAPTCHA verification, two-factor authentication, and login attempt limiting.
  • Advanced IP Blocking: Unlock advanced IP blocking options, such as blocking entire countries or regions based on IP geolocation data.
  • Advanced Access Control Rules: Create complex access control rules based on user roles, specific conditions, or custom criteria.
  • Advanced Activity Logging and Notifications: Receive detailed email notifications for critical events, and access comprehensive activity logs with advanced filtering and search options.
  • Multisite Support: Extend Access Guard’s capabilities to WordPress multisite installations, managing access and IP blocking across multiple sites.
