Benefits for you
We developed this module to help you block unwanted groups of visitors from your store, especially bots and price comparison sites that can harm your business.
Block by IP
Enter the IP address you want to block and click "Confirm". The person using that IP will no longer be able to access your website and will see a blank page with the message "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access ... on this server". You can create as many IP bans as you need.
Note: you must enter the full IP address; wildcard characters such as * or % cannot be used.
Block by country
Enter the code of the country you want to block and click "Confirm". Nobody from that country will be able to access your website; they will see a blank page with the message "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access ... on this server". You can create as many country bans as you need.
Note: mod_geoip must be enabled on your server to block users by country (you can ask your hosting provider to enable it).
Block by user-agent
Enter the user-agent you want to block and click "Confirm". That user-agent will no longer be able to access your website and will see a blank page with the message "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access ... on this server". You can create as many user-agent bans as you need.
