Script example: wp-login.php protection

In this example we'll show you how to protect your wp-login.php from being accessed by unwanted IP's.

Note: This approach will deny access to wp-login.php to any IP not allowed in the script. This means if you have a popular blog with multiple authors this is not the script to use. 

Create Script

Route: wp-login.php

Script contents:

addEventListener('fetch', event => {
  event.respondWith(fetchAndApply(event.request))
})

async function fetchAndApply(request) { 
  //Create an Array of whitelisted IP's that can login to WP
  var whitelist = ["192.168.1.1", "192.168.1.2"];
  //If client's IP is not in the whitelist deny access
  if (!whitelist.includes(request.headers.get('x-sp-client-ip'))) {
    return new Response('Access Denied',
    { status: 403, statusText: 'Forbidden' })
  }

  return fetch(request)
}

Accessing your Script

Once the above has been created, you can access your script using any of the delivery domains on your account. In my example, I can access this script with https://sitehash.stackpathcdn.com/wp-login.php
