I use an .htaccess file to deny access from anyone but myself. < Files "*" > order deny,allow deny from all allow from 127.0.0.1 < /Files > ^ Works perfectly. (minus the spaces before and after the tags because I can't post tags in the comments here). However, this plugin accomplishes pretty much the same thing. I suppose I could make it so that it restricts access based on IP address, too, and not just the URL. Thanks, Trevor Jerry,

deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.1

To name a few, iptables on Linux and Windows Firewall on Windows, or other firewall of your choice, squid rules. Short of that, apache's 'deny from' directive should works great too, in the main httpd.conf or local .htaccess. The plugin should be only be necessary when you are in a hosted environment when you don't have control over the above layers of defense.

Some I'd really like which I can't work out how to do is to use such a script to block access from any client, but allow from my server. I use Joomla as my CMS but then I stumbled on WordPress (a while ago) so I opted for WP as my blog and Joomla for everything else, I run WP via the Joomla wrapper module (iframe) It would be great to block any attempting http://site.com/blog and allow any clicking on the wrapper link to go to the same URL. I can get it working with http_referrer fine, but then once loaded all WP links and menus are blocked because its client based. but anyway, thanks for the plugin. (ps, yes I'm complete newb learning as I go, so I probably don't have the right understanding of the functions of http_server and http_referrer) cheers dave Excellent, I’ve done this manually before int he header php file but to have a customisable script as a plugin is great.

Sounds quite useful, and I'll certainly give it a test as I'm in need of something like this just now. Cheers, Nate Thanks for making this publicly available, Trevor.
