I manually track and investigate traffic activity when customers download freebies from my site to weed out bots. When I first installed the app I quickly began blocking bot IP addresses and yesterday an IP that I thought was blocked was able to get through and download another free product. The blocker DID NOT DO ITS JOB. if you use this software make sure you manually track and investigate customer profiles.
Btw, the software isn't very effective if you're not getting the Pro Plan, you're pretty much forced to get it.

Hi there,

Thank you for your feedback—we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

We’re sorry to hear that you ran into an issue with IP blocking. Our team takes these reports very seriously, and we would have appreciated the opportunity to investigate and resolve the issue. Unfortunately, we haven’t heard back from you yet.

There are several factors that can affect how blocking behaves—such as app or Sales Channels conflicts, dynamic IP changes, or specific configuration settings.

We’ve already submitted a collaborator access request to your store so we can take a closer look. If you’re open to it, we’d be happy to investigate thoroughly and ensure everything is working as expected.

We’re here to help and fully committed to making Blocky a reliable security tool for your store.

Best regards,
Shahar
