IP Restrictions and Sites

We created a sf 'site' and went to apply IP blocks to the web user profile.  Once we try to go back to our home page, it reverts to the 'maintenance' template and we are not able to view anything else.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to make this work?

 

Tx!

when you use the IP restriction on sites you will have to use your secure url

https://<name_you_registered>.secure.force.com to access your site

when i set up the site, there is no option to change the 'http' to 'https'

correct. You need to tell your users to use the https url

http://<your domain name>.secure.force.com also works but since you are IP restricting your site you probably want to use SSL

you can also have a code on your home page of your site to check if the access is http then redirect the request to the https

neither option seems to work...does my org need to be configured for https sites?
