Armex is owned by BM. They created Armex because the BM app does not solve this issue. We were getting blasted by bots, thankfully only recently. We installed BM and then complained when it did not solve the issue…so BM recommend Armex.
We installed Armex and within 24 hours our bot traffic stopped. We were nervous about messing with the DNS as well but Armex support was super helpful and quick with replies in walking through the set up. (We also used our Server Support Chat to assist with the DNS changes.)
We left one of the reviews for Armex and it is legit. The app is not “public” yet on Shopify search because Armex doesn’t want everyone downloading without getting the tech support to properly set it up. (at least that’s what they told us). I specifically asked Armex if Shopify is cool with this app since Shopify has done nothing to fix the issue, they said “yes” they have worked with Shopify in the development process to make sure it works properly.
We have been using it for less than a week and zero bot abandoned carts and zero new customer sign ups. You can see the traffic that is getting blocked…and sales are still coming in as they should. We have not seen any issues with the app interfering in a way that would negatively impact our shop. Try it. It works
