The IP Blocker allows you to block specific IP addresses from accessing your website.
This can help reduce unwanted traffic, abuse or repeated malicious attempts.

Blocking is done at the server level and takes effect immediately.

What the IP Blocker Is Used For #

The IP Blocker is commonly used to:

• Block repeated abuse from a specific IP
• Stop unwanted bot traffic
• Prevent access from known malicious sources
• Temporarily restrict access during troubleshooting

It should be used carefully.
