Hello
I have already read some tickets about dynamic admin IP addresses.
I need the IP whitelist since i use Themler which is otherwise blocked. And i access the websites from different locations. My solution is to update periodically the IP address in the ip table list with help of description field which holds the name of dynamic ip from dynds. The update is done by a local php script outside the website. It does a gethostname from the description field if the field starts with '@'
Do you think this is insecure ?
Thank you - great job anyway.

While your solution is pretty ingenious, I think it would be better to set up an exemption for Themler rather than trying to whilelist your dynamic IP address. What sort of error are you getting when you try to use Themler without the whitelist? Do you know if the block is coming from .htaccess or WAF?
