You can now control unwanted traffic on your website using Blacklisted Countries/Ips in SDP Platform.
This feature lets you block visitors by:
- IP address (specific users or bots)
- Country code (2-letter code like US, GB, KE)
It’s a simple way to protect your site from spam, abuse, or traffic you don’t want.
Where to Find It
- Open your website in SDP Platform
- Go to Advanced
- Click Blacklisted Countries/Ips
How to Use It
Add a blacklist item
- Click Add Item
- Choose Type:
- IP Address
- Country Code
- Enter the value
- Save
Edit or remove an item
- Use the actions in the list to Edit or Delete any rule.
How It Works
Once you add an item:
- Matching visitors are blocked from accessing your site.
- Blocking happens automatically in the background.
- Your blacklist remains tied to your website/domain.
Tips for Admins
- Use IP blocking for repeated abusive visitors or bots.
- Use country blocking only when needed for your business.
- Review your list regularly to keep it accurate.
- Start small, then expand rules based on real traffic patterns.
Important Notes
- Country entries must be valid 2-letter country codes.
- IP entries must be valid IP addresses.
- Your plan may include limits for how many blacklist items you can add.
