Blocky Fraud Filter IP Blocker

Outstanding responsiveness and technical support; easy to install and use; an excellent tool for us to seamlessly block and/or redirect traffic of specific origin, whether individually or countrywide. With Blocky we're able to quickly identify and block the source of suspect traffic spike/bot anomalies, and the occasional scammer gambit. Blocky hums along in the background without issues, greatly valued by those of us who have neither the time nor the resources to be constantly monitoring or finessing finicky apps. We are highly selective in deploying apps, and Blocky is one of only a few that we do use, and we'll likely also be adding their Terms & Conditions app based on our experience with this Blocky app.

I've had some strange fraud issues on my website over the past few years and I've been happy with the features of Blocky. I only sell to US and Canada, so I am able to block visitors from all other countries. I'm also able to block individual users, which I never had to use until recently. I would recommend. I haven't had any tech issues with it at all and I think I've had it for 2 years now.

I am questioning if this works. I have all countries besides US blocked and also VPN blocked becaue I was getting alot of fake email subscribers. Well now I am getting many successful and unsuccessful orders from these blocked countries. It is obvious they are running credit cards to see which work and some of the orders go through and some are declined. When checking the transaction gateway details in the Shopify order page, it shows the country the order was placed from (Russia, Malaysia, Algeria, etc). I then have to cancel these fraudulent orders however I still have to pay the credit card processing fees as those are non-refundable. Therefore, Blocky is not doing it's job at blocking these countries. Perhaps the bots used are too fast for the Blocky app to trigger a block. I have contacted customer support and was told the development team would get back to me and they never did. So I will be cancelling.
