  Hi Rafael!
  
  Check the Moodle logs and extract the IP your user is logging in. It can be something related to the infrastructure that (internal IP, NATs) that prevent arriving the IP you are expecting into Moodle. It the IP is one of you are defining in the plugin settings (or in the IP range), please, come back again with more detail, so that we can manage to see what is happening.
  
  It would be better if you report it into the github.

  Hi Leslie,
  
  Actually, this plugin is just for what you are asking for: it's like a manual authentication including the restriction of logging in from a given IP or IP range.
  
  Sorry for the late answer,

  This is from my last conversation with Jordi:
  
  What I can check from our plugin at https://github.com/SREd-URV/moodle-auth_ip/blob/master/auth.php is that if you state fixed IPs (not ranges), the only problem that may arise is that the REMOTE_ADDR processed in the server side does not match, somehow, to the expected IPs. Could you login as admin from one of those IPs and check the PHP information from the server, and report here the line related to the REMOTE_ADDR. Please, add the confirmation that the shown IP is the corresponding, expected IP.

  after login as admin from the specified IP and checking the PHP info the REMOTE_ADDR is different from the IP address I listed as allowed. Does this mean that I need to express the IP address as a range instead of a fixed IP?

  Thanks Rafael for reporting this issue and also a PR in the github repository. It is already on the master branch and available to the community.

  Hi,
  I'm looking for a plugin that allows guest access if coming from a certain IP and blocks all other guests.
  Is this possible with this plugin?

  Hi!
  
  This plugin inherits the behaviour of a "manual" auth plugin, and adding a restriction of the list of allowed IPs.
  
  Consider that "guest" access is something related to the enrolment of a user into a cours (enrol/guest). It is not related to the authentication access. I do not know if there is any other enrolment plugin restricting IP access. I can suggest you to ask it into the tracker as an additional feature form the enrol/guest plugin. Another option is to implement your own enrolment plugin (enrol/ip?) inheriting all from enrol/guest and adding the restriction for the allowed IPs.
  
  There may be another option: set up a course with a guest access, and then restrict all elements be accessible to a given value on a user profile item. I didn't make it so take it as a suggestion.
  
  Regards,
  
  Jordi

  We started using this plugin however have subsequently found that when users are created with this auth method and we select "Generate password and notify user" they don't receive the email. This is happening when creating users both singularly or via the bulk upload. Has anyone else experienced this and do you have a workaroud?

  Hello. Is it possible to add LDAP accounts to this plugin? We would like to restrict LDAP login of certain accounts to the internal network only. Thanks!

  Thanks to the contributors, jordi, Robert,daniel and cristian. However i am unable add subnet feature which i see was enabled. but i cannot add for eg., 10.1.1.0 -255.0.0.0 to allow certain users to access anywhere from local network. but i dont want to give specific iP address. there is no help on how to add it in the list. Also there is only one list . does that mean all users will go through the same list. how do you provide individual ip addresses or range for individual user? hope my questions are clear

  Hi,
  Is Authentication by IP working well with IPv6 addresses and domains?
  
  If so, what is the acceptable format?
  For example : 2b00:1110:217:d962:0:33:e35e:1f00 - this format seems to be working
  2b00:1110:217:d962:0:33:e35e::/96 - not working
  2b00:1110:217:d962:0:33:e35e:0000 - not working
  2b00:1110:217:d962:0000:0033:e35e:0000/96 - not working
  Thank you,
  Judit

  Hi Judit,
  
  This plugin is minimally updated. We added full support for IPv4 adresses and network adressing (CIDR notation). I suppose that full suport for IPv6 notations is not currently implemented. I have not checked it, but from your comment, I understant it does not.
  
  I suggest you to rise an issue on the github repo, and, even better, provide a patch for supporting it.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Jordi
