Option to set IP Restriction

    Hi Guys.. I wanted to submit a feature request where we can set up IP restriction.

    The problem is that I use gravity forms for collecting leads in return offering a report in pdf format. While I can set restriction to prevent duplicate emails, I see that most of my leads (rather some competitors) make use of different email address to download the report.

    It would be great to have IP restriction put in place. Im sure besides the above scenario, lot of other uses for gravity forms could also benefit from this feature.

    You can do this with some trickery now if you'd like. Choose a single text field and select the no duplicates. In the Advanced Tab pre-populate it with the IP Address merge tag from the drop down.

    You will then need to hide the field with CSS (display: none). Selecting it as an Admin Only field will allow duplicates to go through. You will then also want to change your validation message that will show, as the default one will say fields have been highlighted below - but since we are hiding the IP field, they'll never be able to see the true reason.
