    I would like to blacklist all IPs then make an exception just for my own IP – to keep out search engine crawlers before my site is ready. Is there an IP range that I can enter that encompasses all IPs?

    Dont use Loginizer for that.
    If your webhoster / server is running an apache server, you can use a .htaccess file to do that.

    – Download the standard htaccess file already created by wordpress with an FTP client like Filezilla
    – open the htaccess file and add the following lines at the bottom:

    order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

    replace the xxx with your own IP

    -save the file, upload it and replace the existing htaccess on the server
