Block Blacklisted IP’s

Note: This feature is available in Wp Safe Zone PRO version.

Overview

The “Block Blacklisted IPs” setting of the WP Safe Zone plugin enhances the security of your WordPress site by preventing access from IP addresses that are known to be malicious or unauthorized. This feature allows you to use the list of over 10 million confirmed malicious IPs found on Safe Zone servers. And it scans every traffic entering your site accordingly.

Key Features

• Automatically adds IP addresses to the blacklist based on suspicious or malicious activity.

Access Denial

• Blocks all HTTP requests from blacklisted IP addresses, preventing them from accessing any part of the site.
