Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Easy IP Blocker

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.

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.

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.

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.
