You can customize the restriction rules and use them as per your needs.
This functionality operates at the server level, thus if the Apache server rules don&#8217;t work, or also the WP Engine, Siteground, and other servers like this run on an Nginx server, which requires the use of Nginx configuration rules. If you face any issues please email us at info@xecurify.com or oauthsupport@xecurify.com. We would recommend you to please ensure your PHP server and rules first which will work on your server before purchasing it or else contact us we will help you to set up the plugin according to your requirements on your site.
