This security plugin is designed for website administrators who need to control access to their site's backend and sensitive directories. It prevents unauthorized users, bots, and scripts from reaching protected areas by issuing a standard 403 Forbidden HTTP status code.

• Admin Area Protection: Blocks direct access attempts to the site's administration login page and dashboard from unauthorized IP addresses.
• File Directory Lockdown: Restricts access to specific sensitive files and folders, such as configuration files or upload directories, from public web requests.
• IP Address Whitelisting: Allows you to specify trusted IP addresses that are permitted to access the protected resources, ensuring legitimate administrators are not locked out.
• Lightweight Operation: Functions with minimal server resource usage, adding a security layer without impacting site performance for regular visitors.
• Standard HTTP Compliance: Uses the established 403 status code, which is correctly interpreted by browsers and search engines, avoiding confusion with other error types like 404s.
