The module imporves the security of your website. It adds a simple interface for creating a short list of IP addresses, allowed to access your website's admin panel.

Computer technology is getting more prevalent and accessible by the day, and there are many users that will try to gain access to other people’s resources. This includes taking over control of sites that are already created, stealing user identities and other data, or modifying a platform to serve a purpose different from the original. To protect your community and investment, we’re offering the IP whitelist module. It is meant to limit access to your Pintastic 4 admin area to just a select few people.

How it does that?
As the name suggests – what you need to do after installing and enabling the module is creating a list of IP addresses that are allowed to access the admin panel. No one else will be able to see it, let alone log in or make changes to your site’s settings.

A few important notes:

1. the module only supports single IP addresses – IP ranges cannot be used to create security exception rules,
2. only users with listed IP addresses will be able to login, so if you have a dynamic IP address – you will get locked out once your IP address changes,
3. if you allow access to addresses within a local network (e.g. 192.168.x.x), you are effectively locking out all other addresses.
