Can logged-in users still view the site?

Yes. Logged-in users always have full access.

Can I whitelist multiple IP addresses?

Yes, just separate them with commas.

Why isn’t the Under Construction page turning off?

Most likely a caching plugin is showing an old version. Clear your cache or disable caching plugins during testing.
