This issue was resolved by updating this plugin's code to use REMOTE_ADDR in situations where it makes sense. In most cases, this plugin will now choose REMOTE_ADDR over IP-based restrictions in order to give the best possible user experience. One such situation where this could allow remote access without permission is when a visitor comes from a remote access device, such as a computer at work or a remote server. In most cases, remote access is blocked by default, and looking up the visitor's IP address is the only way to unblock remote access. If a visitor comes from a remote access device, and the visitor's IP does not match the IP of the end user, accessing the end user's website is prohibited by default.

Limitations on WordPress User Access
In some cases, the end user's website might have a role in restricting access. If the website does not have admin levels, or if it is part of a content restriction plugin like Akismet, then this plugin will respect those restrictions and will not allow remote access to the site.
How to determine if a remote access request is valid or not?
If you want to determine whether or not a remote access request is valid, you can do so by looking up the visitor's IP address. If the request is valid, it will match the IP of the end user.
It is important for businesses to have a digital presence because it makes them more accessible and engaging to their audience. A digital presence allows business owners to reach out to their audience on a number of different platforms such as social media, email, and blogs. There are many benefits to outsourcing your SEO services, but one of them is that it allows brands to focus on other aspects of their business while also getting better results.
