Advantages for you
We have developed this module to help you block access to your store to unwanted groups of visitors, 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 with this IP will then be unable to access your website and will get a white page with the message "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access ... on this server". You can create as many bans per IP as you need.
Note: You must enter the full IP address, wildcard characters such as * or % are NOT allowed.
Block by country
Enter the country code you want to block and click "Confirm". All people from this country will then be banned from your site and will get a white 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: you must have mod_geoip enabled on your server to be able to block users by country (you can ask your hosting to enable it for you).
Block by user-agent
Enter the user-agent you want to block and click "Confirm". This user-agent will then be unable to access your website and will get a white page with the message "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access ... on this server". You can create as many bans per user-agent as you need.
