  • Proved useful over years

    Have used this plugin for several years and seen it regularly block malicious users. It takes a little effort to setup as per your requirements, but can be very useful if you need to block certain countries, proxies and/or VPNs.

  • Surprisingly good

    Well I was using a VPN and forgot. Went to my domain to check on something and it showed that I was using a proxy or VPN (which I do not allow). Bit surprised but very happy.

  • Keeps Getting Better

    I've used this plugin on about a dozen sites over the past few years and it keeps improving. I've installed it on sites that were hosted by a number of providers and never had a situation where it didn't work.
