   I would like to restrict access to my /wp-admin folder so that I can ONLY access it from within my home network via its private, internal ip:
   [http]://192.168.1.2/wordpress/wp-admin
   and anybody accessing it via its public ip gets blocked.

   My rules are:
   

   <DirectoryMatch /wordpress/wp-admin>
           Order Deny,Allow
           Deny from all
           Allow from 192.168.1.3
           Allow from 192.168.1.4
   </DirectoryMatch>

   I have the same rule set for myphpadmin and it works as expected. But for wp-admin, wordpress automatically redirects the request to its public ip. So even when I type [http]://192.168.1.2/wordpress/wp-admin in my browser, wordpress automatically redirects to its public ip:
   [http]://my.public.ip.addr/wordpress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://192.168.1.2/wordpress/wp-admin/&reauth=1

   therefore the wp-admin directory is still inaccessible even from within my internal network. Is there a way to stop this redirection so I can access the wp-admin directly from its private ip?
