I've been having these bot visits, and I'm sure many people have too. From Ashburn US, some name that ends in Musterman. Can I block his IP. They probably uses VPN

 

Thanks

Hi there @NineAmulets!

 

Sorry to hear you're running into this issue with your store.

 

There are a number of apps in our store that work with geolocation that you can check out.

 

I looked specifically for IP blockers in this search, which has a number of promising-looking results.

 

It looks like IP Blocker & Country Redirect would do what you're after and it has a number of good reviews as well as a 7-day trial, but feel free to browse your options there.

 

Are you working on anything else for your business currently?

 

How are things going for your store otherwise?

Kedra Shield works well for blocking IPs, VPN/Proxy users, and bots -> https://apps.shopify.com/kedra-shield-website-security
