WP Allowed Hosts

This tool restricts outbound HTTP connections from your site to a predefined list of approved hosts. It is designed for site administrators who need to enforce strict network policies and prevent data exfiltration or unauthorized API calls.

• Host whitelist management: Define and maintain a list of allowed external hosts. Any connection attempt to a host not on this list is automatically blocked.
• Connection logging: Records all blocked connection attempts, providing visibility into potential security threats or misconfigured plugins.
• Simple configuration: Set up the allowed hosts list through the admin interface or via configuration file, with clear documentation for each option.
• Compatibility: Works with standard HTTP requests made by plugins and themes, without requiring code changes to existing functionality.
• Performance impact: Minimal overhead on request processing, as the check is performed before the connection is initiated.
