## Description

Easy IP Blocker is a lightweight security plugin that lets you block unwanted IP
addresses directly from your WordPress dashboard. Protect your site from malicious
traffic, brute-force login attempts, and spam by maintaining a blocklist with just
a few clicks.

Your entire blocklist is stored as a single plain-text option — one entry per line.
There is no database table, no import/export workflow, and no complicated UI. Just
copy, paste, and save. Back up your list by copying the textarea contents to a text
file, or restore it by pasting one back in. It is that simple.

Need to block IPs faster? Use the built-in WP-CLI commands to add, remove, or list
entries without ever opening the dashboard.

**Features:**

 * Block individual IPs, CIDR ranges, or wildcard patterns
 * CDN/proxy-aware IP detection — supports Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, AWS CloudFront,
   Sucuri, and custom headers
 * Auto-detects your CDN/proxy and recommends the correct setting
 * Plain-text flat list — copy and paste to back up, migrate, or restore
 * WP-CLI support (`wp eib add/remove/list/clear`) for scripting and automation
 * Lightweight and fast — no external dependencies, API calls, or extra database
   tables
 * Compatible with PHP 7.4 through 8.4
 * Helps prevent brute-force attacks, spam, and unauthorized access
 * Comment support — use # to annotate and organize your blocklist
 * Modern, clean admin interface with tabbed layout

**Supported CDN / proxy providers:**

 * **Cloudflare** — reads `CF-Connecting-IP`
 * **Fastly** — reads `Fastly-Client-IP`
 * **Akamai** — reads `True-Client-IP`
 * **AWS CloudFront** — reads `CloudFront-Viewer-Address`
 * **Sucuri** — reads `X-Sucuri-ClientIP`
 * **Generic proxy** — reads `X-Forwarded-For`
 * **Custom header** — specify any header name your proxy sets
 * **Direct** — uses `REMOTE_ADDR` when no proxy is in use

The plugin auto-detects which CDN or proxy is in front of your site and recommends
the correct setting. You can also choose manually from the Settings tab.

**Supported blocking formats:**

 * **Exact IP** — `192.168.1.1`
 * **CIDR range** — `192.168.1.0/24` (blocks 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.255)
 * **Wildcard** — `10.0.0.*` or `172.16.*.*` (matches any value in place of *)
 * **Comments** — lines starting with `#` are ignored, useful for notes

**WP-CLI commands:**

 * `wp eib add <ip>...` — Append one or more entries to the blocklist
 * `wp eib remove <ip>...` — Remove entries from the blocklist
 * `wp eib delete <ip>...` — Alias for remove
 * `wp eib list` — Show all blocked IPs and rules
 * `wp eib clear` — Clear the entire blocklist

All commands that accept IPs support multiple entries in a single call. For example:

    ```
    wp eib add 192.168.1.1 10.0.0.0/24 172.16.0.*
    wp eib remove 192.168.1.1 10.0.0.0/24
    ```

## Installation

Installing « Easy IP Blocker » can be done either by searching for « Easy IP Blocker»
via the « Plugins > Add New » screen in your WordPress dashboard, or by using the
following steps:

 1. Download the plugin via WordPress.org
 2. Upload the ZIP file through the ‘Plugins > Add New > Upload’ screen in your WordPress
    dashboard
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

### What is the plugin used for?

Easy IP Blocker allows you to block unwanted IP addresses from accessing your WordPress
site. Navigate to Settings > Easy IP Block Settings, and add entries using exact
IPs (192.168.1.1), CIDR ranges (10.0.0.0/24), or wildcards (172.16._._). Use lines
starting with # to add comments to your blocklist.

### My site is behind Cloudflare / a CDN — will blocking work?

Yes. Go to Settings > Easy IP Block Settings > Settings tab and select your CDN 
or proxy from the « IP Detection Method » dropdown. The plugin will read the correct
header to get the real visitor IP. If you are unsure, the plugin auto-detects your
CDN and shows a recommendation on the Settings tab.

### What is the « Auto (legacy) » IP detection method?

This is the default for existing installations. It checks multiple headers in order(
HTTP_CLIENT_IP, X-Forwarded-For, REMOTE_ADDR). While convenient, it is less secure
because attackers can spoof headers. We recommend selecting your specific CDN or«
Direct » if you have no proxy.

### Can I use a custom header?

Yes. Select « Custom header » from the IP Detection Method dropdown and enter the
header name your proxy sets (e.g. X-Real-IP). This works with Nginx, HAProxy, or
any non-standard proxy configuration.

I wonder why this simple but awesome plugin doesn’t have any rating yet! It’s just
one click solution for IP blocking.
