Feature
IP / CIDR rules — Allow or block specific IP addresses or CIDR ranges (e.g., ***********/24).
How it works
CIDR support lets you handle office networks, known providers, or abusive subnets efficiently while keeping the rules list short.
How to access / enable
- WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Allow/Deny
- Add a rule for an IP or CIDR range
- Choose Allow or Deny and save.
Recommended setting
Recommended: Allowlist trusted office/VPN IPs; deny only when you have repeated confirmed abuse.
Over-blocking IP ranges can affect legitimate users (mobile carriers and shared networks).
Why you need this
Admins use IP rules to quickly stop persistent offenders and protect internal workflows.
