Restrict whole course by IP?

[chrispratt-tonyyeb]

Hi, not really an issue but was wondering would it be possible to have something that restricted a whole course by IP?

Thanks

Hi tonyyeb, I think it's possible with this plugin: https://moodle.org/plugins/auth_ip
Not tested, but should work.

Thanks but that restricts the whole site. I wanted to select which courses could be restricted by IP, others would be accessible without IP restriction if that makes sense?

You're correct that's for the whole site.

Something like that could be built in an enrollment plugin. The availability plugins can only be added on module context.

It's not possible to build support for it in this plugin.

Just noting that the availability modules (this one included) can be set to act on a course section context. So a workaround could be to add an availability_ipaddress restriction on each course section. Besides, you could possible save yourself some repetitive work by putting all course content in one section, thus only having to restrict access to that one section.
