Protect your store with a powerful country/IP/VPN blocker—block fraud, scammers & boost security

Fraud, fake visitors, bots, and competitor spies can scrape your content, expose data, slow your store, and lead to chargebacks. Many store owners struggle to control who gets access—especially when threats hide behind proxies, VPNs, or private IPs. Blocky gives you full control: block by IP or country, stop proxy traffic, disable right-click, and protect your privacy. With fast setup, smart targeting, and real-time visitor insights, Blocky helps you stay secure and focused on real customers.

Feedback submitted

Merchants highly value this app for its ability to enhance store security by blocking unwanted traffic, including from specific countries, IP addresses, and VPNs. They appreciate its real-time analytics, country blocking, VPN detection, customizable block page, and IP whitelisting. The app is easy to install, user-friendly, and does not slow down site speed. Merchants also commend the responsive and effective support team.

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
