Does Blocky Blocks VPN Connections too?

Yes, Blocky can effectively block VPN and proxy connections using its "Bot Killer" feature. Here’s how it works:

Security Analysis:
- Blocky utilizes the services of proxycheck.io, a trusted security provider that evaluates each IP address visiting your store. It assigns a "risk score" to each IP based on various factors.

How the Bot Killer Feature Works:
- VPNs and proxies typically have high risk scores due to their nature. When you enable Blocky’s "Bot Killer" functionality, it automatically blocks any IP addresses with risk scores above a certain threshold. This includes many popular VPN and proxy providers.

By activating this feature, you enhance your store's security by preventing access from IP addresses that are flagged as high risk, including those associated with VPNs and proxies.

If you need any further assistance or have additional questions about using Blocky, feel free to contact our support team. We’re here to help ensure your store remains secure and optimized!
