Hi,
I looked everywhere for an answer but nothing so far.
I found a module call "Restrict Login Access by IP Address" but it doesn't look like its working.
what I am looking for is a way to allow access to the "/?q=user" from a specific IP address.
is that possible or not.. Restrict Login Access by IP Address sound good and it has what I want but it simply does not work at all..
anything like it or maybe a hack

Another way to do this is to use the troll and/or the bad behavior module(s). You can, I believe, use wildcards to block broad IP address ranges. Do not block those you wish to grant access.
