    My question is, it's 2017 why are you still using IPB > 4.x?
    4.x has fewer vulnerabilities than any past version even if it's 'nulled' or 'cracked'
    Also if you want to make it even more secure than you allow only certain IPs access to the admincp.
    or
    If you really wanted to you could just use custom cookies and have an .htaccess check based on the value, if it's the correct value then allow access otherwise redirect the person to the index of the forums.

    IPB = IP.Board
    IPS = Invision Power Suite


    It's two different systems. One has nice interface and is a whole package, the other is on its own and has easy customization (for someone who knows what they're doing).

    The real question is why are people using terrible php based forums?


    Discourse is open source and free. Also a "minimum" security for a website is using HTTPS.
    What am I watching now?

    Look mate, if your gonna type out that IPS stands for Invision Power Suite, don't be lazy and actually state that IPB stands for Invision Power Board rather than IP.Board...
