    Is it possible for Wordfence to send an email alert when a visitor lands from a particular IP / IP range? I was looking for something very similar to the blocking tab (of firewall section), perhaps called “alerts”.

  • Hi @ocglimited,

    Wordfence currently does not have this feature. Can you describe in a bit more detail what you would want in this feature?

    Maybe what you’re looking for is an analytics plugin. For example, every week the plugin will report how many users from each country visited your site.

    If you have a plugin email you every time a certain IP range visits, I imagine your email will get packed pretty fast.

    We want to know if a competitors comes to our website, so we an alert by source IP. Similarly, our sales team sometimes submits bids to large companies, and we want alerts when someone from that company (source IP range/subnet) arrives at our side.

    Optionally, we may also block a competitors’s IP address range (which Wordfence can already do). So very similar functionality to what’s already in Wordfence…just applied a slightly different way.

    That sounds like a great idea!

    I’ll pass this idea along to the team to see what they think about it!

    However, please keep in mind that Wordfence is designed primarily as a firewall / security plugin – this seems to tread more into the analytical territory, and a bit outside of the scope of what Wordfence should handle.
