Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about eDarpan: Website Protection
No. All content protection features use JavaScript, which means search engine crawlers (Google, Bing, etc.) can still read and index your content normally. Your SEO rankings will not be affected.
Yes. The plugin supports wildcard IP blocking. You can use patterns like 192.168.1.*, 10.0.*.*, or 123.*.*.* to block entire IP ranges.
No. The plugin never blocks WordPress admin pages. Even if your IP is in the blocklist, you can always access wp-admin to remove it.
No. Geo-IP lookups are cached for 24 hours using WordPress transients. After the first lookup, subsequent page loads for the same visitor have zero additional overhead.
Yes. The plugin is compatible with WordPress multisite. Each site in the network can have its own protection settings.
You have three options: display a custom message, show a blank page, or redirect to any URL. You can set a global default and also override it per IP entry.
Yes. Use the CSV import feature. The format is simple: ip_address, list_type, notes. Download the sample CSV from the Import/Export tab to see the exact format.
Yes. Since IP blocking happens at the PHP level before any page output, it works correctly with all popular caching plugins (WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, etc.).
Yes. The plugin detects the real visitor IP from Cloudflare's CF-Connecting-IP header, so blocking works correctly even behind Cloudflare's CDN/proxy.
