Is a walled garden type of setting or module available for drupal? I've tried to look but haven't found anything as of yet, but it is very possible I missed something considering the vast amount of modules available.

It would help if you explained exactly what you mean by "walled garden module". Built-in to drupal is the ability to completely turn off access to content to anonymous users (simply visit admin/user/access and uncheck the "access content" permission). you can also do that for authenticated users-- not sure why you would want to, unless you want a private site only for yourself and in that case you should just install it locally.

What I mean is for a setting that won't allow non-members of any kind to view any of the site information. Something that can prevent search engines from finding and indexing individual pages, even if users set their own content fields as public. Basically, something that will keep any information of any kind found on the site only to members.

Sounds like the user access thing might do the trick, I'll look into it, thanks.

I think people looking for something similar, might be helped by the Shield module.

It handles Drupal as a "walled garden".
This module helps you to protect your (dev) site with HTTP authentication.
