Help / Block access by IP address

Restricting access to quizzes by IP address

Limiting access to an IP address can improve the security of a quiz by controlling who can reach it.

FlexiQuiz allows you to state what IP addresses can access your quiz content. Only users from a specific IP (e.g., a school network or office) can access the quiz. Anyone outside the range, such as remote users, gets blocked.


Setting IP restrictions

Adminis with an Enterprise subscription can set IP restrictions for the whole account.

  1. Log into your FlexiQuiz account and select Settings from the top menu.
  2. Click Security from the left-hand menu.
  3. Now tick the box Enable IP restrictions.
    4. box to enter the IP address for each person allowed to take the quiz you make
  4. Then enter the IP address for every user who will access your quiz content. The IP addresses must follow this format:
    • Each IP address must be on a new line.
    • CIDR notation can be used to enter a range of IP addresses.

The data automatically saves when you click out of the box.
