Hello,

Is it possible to Block all the ip except one or 2 on the whole site (not necessarily administrator) when developing a site?

Hello,

yes, you can. Please take a look at the Emergency Offline feature in Admin Tools. It will block all visitors, except the ones matching the IP: https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/admin-tools/emergency-offline.html

However, that's a pretty drastic solution, maybe you just can set the site offline using Joomla core feature.

thank you for your comeback,


I had already tried these two solutions, but they did not suit me because we can no longer develop the site

I solved the problem by adding in htaccess Maker > Custom .htaccess rules at the top of the file :
order deny,allow
deny from All
allow from myIp1
allow from myIp2

thank you
