Block Action

• Captcha Challenge Rage with customisable text, background and logo allows you to show a captcha challenge to positively detected visitors, if they pass the captcha the visitor will be allowed to view the protected resource. You can set this to only be seen by VPN Users while Proxy and other detected visitors will still be blocked.

Plus, Custom Block Page and URL Redirect.

User Registration Email Filtering

Disposable Email Filtering: On User Registration, you can have the email address (by default and recommended they are anonymised e.g.  [email protected]) checked with the proxycheck.io API to see if it appears on list of known disposable email address domains.

This allows you to block registrations from Disposable Email Addresses.

Page & Post Specific Blocking Method

Proxy & VPN blocker Premium provides the ability to select the blocking method on a per post or page basis within the WordPress Editor, this means you can set one page to redirect blocked visitor IP Addresses directly to the block page, while another page can present the Captcha Challenge Page or redirect blocked IP’s to another URL.

 

proxycheck.io CORS API Support

Adding proxycheck.io Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Keys allows Proxy & VPN Blocker Premium to fall back to Javascript to block bad IP Addresses if the other methods fail.
