TFE.Umbraco.AccessRestriction

TFE.Umbraco.AccessRestriction is a IP access restriction manager for Umbraco. The package features a dashboard and editor that let's users manage whitelisted IP addresses from within the Umbraco backoffice. IP's can be added with a description and have both a creation and modified date and user.

Getting started

Package Installation

The Umbraco 12 version of this package is only available via NuGet. To install the package, you can use either .NET CLI:

dotnet add package TFE.Umbraco.AccessRestriction --version 12.0.1

or the older NuGet Package Manager:

NuGet\Install-Package TFE.Umbraco.AccessRestriction --version 12.0.1

Umbraco Installation

Before the Umbraco middleware, add the IPAccessRestrictionMiddleware to Startup.cs:

app.UseMiddleware<IPAccessRestrictionMiddleware>(); 

Add the necessary usings to Startup.cs:

using TFE.Umbraco.AccessRestriction.Middleware;

Add these settings to appsettings.json

"TFE.Umbraco.AccessRestriction": {
    "disable": true, 
    "logBlockedIP": false,
    "localHost": "127.0.0.1", 
    "excludePaths": "/umbraco, /App_Plugins, /api/keepalive/ping",
    "includePaths": "", 
    "isCloudFlare": false,
    "customHeader": ""
  }

Either use "excludePaths" or "includePaths" to direct the IP blocker.

Azure / CloudFlare / Umbraco Cloud Installation

When installed on a cloud environment make sure to add your the cloud IP Addresses. Replace the following excludePaths property in appsettings.json :

"excludePaths": "/umbraco, /App_Plugins, /api/keepalive/ping, /umbraco-signin-oidc, /sb", 

Set to true when using Cloudflare

"isCloudFlare": true,

If a proxy is being used, set the value of the 'customHeader' field to 'header' with the IP address used by the proxy.

"customHeader": "",

Whitelist IP Addresses

There are two different ways to whitelist an IP address, though the dashboard interface and by adding the IP address to WhitelistedIps.txt. Both methods can be used simultaneously and separately.

Add an IP using the Umbraco dashboard

Add an IP using WhitelistedIps.txt

Add WhitelistedIps.txt to the root of your Umbraco project.

IP Addresses must be line separated and to add a comment use the #.

192.168.1.1 
192.168.1.2 #John
192.168.1.3
::1 
192.168.1.4 #Hank  

Features

• Global dashboard for listing all whitelisted IP addresses.
• Package handles IP addresses added manually by a user with admin rights and IP addresses added to the WhitelistedIps.txt.
