Does Blocky Blocks VPN Connections too?

Introduction:

To enhance your store’s security, Blocky allows you to block VPN and proxy connections using its "Bot Killer" feature. This guide explains how the feature works and how it helps protect your store from high-risk IP addresses.

How Blocky Secures Your Store

1. Security Analysis: Blocky leverages proxycheck.io, a trusted security service, to analyze each IP address visiting your store. Each IP is assigned a risk score based on multiple factors, helping identify potentially suspicious or high-risk traffic.
2. How the Bot killer feature works: VPNs and proxies often receive high-risk scores due to their nature. When you enable Blocky’s "Bot Killer", the app automatically blocks IP addresses that exceed the risk threshold. This includes traffic from many popular VPN and proxy providers. By activating this feature, you prevent access from high-risk IPs, reducing the chance of malicious activity and keeping your store secure.

Activating the Bot Killer Feature:

1. Open Blocky Settings: Navigate to the Bot Killer section in your Blocky dashboard.
2. Enable Bot Killer: Toggle the feature ON to start blocking high-risk VPN and proxy IPs automatically.

Conclusion:

Enabling the Bot Killer feature helps protect your store from VPN and proxy-based traffic, improving security and reducing potential threats. If you have questions or need further assistance, our support team is ready to help.
