As long as we approach the site with http or no prefix in the address bar, it works. With https, the plugin lets us pass. Tested three times in different browsers. Same result. Uninstalled. Next.

A great and clean, simple plugin to protect front end access to your site. When I say simple I mean clean and simple end user interface with very clean code Just perfect to use on your test sites/Private site or for demonstrating a site build to clients without letting the rest of the world in. I have abandoned a premium plugin to use this instead. Why ? It just works! What more can anyone ask. Well done and thank you Lucas
