Block by IP

Use the VIP_Request_Block::ip() method to block requests by IP addresses.

The whois terminal command can be used to query an IP address in order to make a more educated decision about which IP addresses are suitable to be blocked.

Use caution to avoid blocking a reverse proxy IP instead of the client’s IP. Blocking the IP of a reverse proxy will result in legitimate traffic being blocked.

// Example VIP_Request_Block::ip( string $value );
if ( class_exists( 'VIP_Request_Block' ) ) {
   VIP_Request_Block::ip( '13.37.13.37' );
   VIP_Request_Block::ip( '13.37.13.38' );
}
