Limit logins by IP
Permalink
I want to set it up so some logins can only log in from certain IPs, for example, only LAN IPs.
Namely because I want the website to be only editable on the LAN, and I think this might be the best way to do it, but I'm not yet finding a way to configure this constraint.
Please advise.

So far the only way that this _MIGHT_ be achievable is using fail2ban and monitoring login accounts an then comparing used IP to a list, and temp banning anyone trying to log into an account from the wrong IP. This seems pretty gritty to administrate.

The problem is, based on the description, is that it is a full ban.
Let me flesh this out a bit more. There are some users that I want to be able to login from any IP, and then there are some users I want to be able to login only from an allowed range.
The plugin you linked to (which I found earlier in my search) makes it so blocked IPs can't login at all, no matter the account.
So per-group or per-user (or both would be nice) is the kind of scope I want to do IP limitations on.
Make sense? :)
