[Defender Pro] VPN Blocker for Defender

0

We get a lot of spam through VPNs, even blocking out all countries they just VPN to the US anyway. Being able to detect and block VPNs from the entire site or specific pages and posts like checkouts or contact pages would be great in helping us reduce spam.

    Hey Patick,

    I fully understand blocking VPNs will block out some actual traffic, but I feel having it as a toggle option and with the option to only use it on select pages or posts would greatly help us in cleaning up malware or hacked website, but also for the most part VPN traffic is more spam than realistic traffic, plus most are younger and for some websites out of their target audience.

    Keeping the site open for all but blocking checkout or account registration pages from VPN use is more what I’m thinking of using it for to help combat as much spam and bot spam and hacking attempts as possible.
