I know you can set up something in the wordpress settings, but since my site is run a bit differently I can't direct you any further. Have you checked your CPannel to see what you could do in terms of security and ip and all of that good stuff? I don't use CPannel and have not for about 2 years now. but hopefully this will give you a push in the right direction.
Good luck and good luck with your project.
