Plesk has a feature to restrict access to the administrative control panel, this helps prevent unwanted access to the server and improve security. 

To enable this feature:

Step 1:

Login to Plesk with your administrative account


Step 2:

Click "Tools and Settings" on the left hand side and then "Restrict Administrative Access"


Step 3:

Select "Add New Network"


Step 4:

Enter in the IP Address or Network that you want to restrict access to


Step 5:

Select "Denied From the networks that are not listed" so that access is denied to any address other than the ones you specify and then click "Set"


Now Plesk's administrators control panel can only be accessed from the IP addresses you specified, subscriptions and domain owners can still access Plesk as normal. 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

If you decide to restrict access to services on your server to a specific IP address please add our support IP so we can continue to access your server to provide support, our IP address is:

193.200.80.2

If you are a Gold or Platinum customer please contact technical support before making any firewall changes as we have extra services accessing your server for both backups and monitoring that will need to be allowed.
