    Default Redirect Traffic Based on IP

    Is there anyway to do a redirect of ALL traffic unless the request is from a certain IP? I want to eliminate the possibility of shoppers hitting my staging site so I want to redirect them to my live site but I want to hit my staging site myself if I come from my IP.

    I did this before with .htaccess on my PHP cart. All this came about because somehow my staging site got indexed. It slowly fell off index now but Im sure it still is around someplace.

    There are a few different ways that you can go about this depending on the final result you're looking for. If you want a reusable module that you can build, search for "restrict site access by ip address" (no quotes) in google and find the link on the first page of results to codeproject.com...it can be done in about 30 lines of code. You could also set up windows authentication on your staging site (instructions here in our manual) if you have direct access to the server.

    George,

    Just wanted to follow-up ... I used the sample from codeproject.com and it did exactly what I needed. Basically I have a list of IP's I want to access from, if the incoming IP is not in that list I then redirect to my live site.

    Works pretty slick, thanks for the tip!
