I used this app to block certain countries due to shipping restrictions and I have confirmed that my website is in fact blocked. I added the app just a couple days ago and it works for my needs, so I'm happy. I would recommend this free app.
Just installed this app and it has helped my store from unwanted bot traffic.
Worth having and a well deserve 5/5.
2D artists have a lot of trouble with businesses in China pulling images off the website and selling them. Since copyright loaw does not affect China it is a major problem. I noticed that one of my top referrers to my website was a store entirely in Chinese. I also only ship to US and Canada. With this app I was able to block website visitors from countries besides US and Canada. It appears to be working very well and that referrer has not shown up again in analytics.
Been using it only for a few hours and it already blocked a bot from outside my country. Support has been quick to answer my questions. The user analytics allows you to see IP addresses, time of access, and browser used so you can find your bad IPs and block them. Great price.
The app does exactly what we were hoping for. Easiest way to stop fraudulent charges from occurring in our store.
Spoke with Zeeshan about a few things I needed help with and within the day everything was solved! Super efficient customer service and so far the app is totally doing just that as advertised! Thank you!
Great assistance! We wanted international users to be directed to our contact page, and the support team help us do just that!
UPDATE: After I posted this, within 24 hours I started having trouble with editing my site in the customize section of my theme. I noticed injected JS from this company and recorded video that showed when turned off everything worked again. I will be sending this info to shopify regarding this highly illegal manipulation to negative reviews. I wanted to try this app and waiting for a reply back from the developer. At present it does NOT work. I've blocked IP addresses, including my own, blocked countries, and other users I know to help test. Using VPN, my local IP, and the others, we ALL were able to continue accessing the site despite it stating they were blocked etc. I have screenshots and video to show this is not working. Beware...
Hi,
Thank you for your review. I have tried to contact you several times via email but never heard back. Before you edited your review, I addresses to your initial concern and message you that I believe that you were not blocked because you were logged in as the store's admin. Blocky will never block you when you are logged in as the store's admin.
