Easy IP Blocker is a lightweight security plugin that lets you block unwanted IP addresses directly from your WordPress dashboard. Protect your site from malicious traffic, brute-force login attempts, and spam by maintaining a blocklist with just a few clicks.
Your entire blocklist is stored as a single plain-text option — one entry per line. There is no database table, no import/export workflow, and no complicated UI. Just copy, paste, and save. Back up your list by copying the textarea contents to a text file, or restore it by pasting one back in. It is that simple.
Need to block IPs faster? Use the built-in WP-CLI commands to add, remove, or list entries without ever opening the dashboard.
Features:
- Block individual IPs, CIDR ranges, or wildcard patterns
- CDN/proxy-aware IP detection — supports Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, AWS CloudFront, Sucuri, and custom headers
- Auto-detects your CDN/proxy and recommends the correct setting
- Plain-text flat list — copy and paste to back up, migrate, or restore
- WP-CLI support ( wp eib add/remove/list/clear ) for scripting and automation
- Lightweight and fast — no external dependencies, API calls, or extra database tables
- Compatible with PHP 7.4 through 8.4
- Helps prevent brute-force attacks, spam, and unauthorized access
- Comment support — use # to annotate and organize your blocklist
- Modern, clean admin interface with tabbed layout
