This helps AdSense publishers and website owners ensure that only valid traffic is served. This is not an official plugin for IPHub.info. ### External Services This plugin connects to the IPHub.info API to validate IP addresses and determine whether they are suspicious, likely belonging to bots, VPNs, or invalid traffic. Data transmitted: • The visitor’s IP address is sent to IPHub.info each time a check is performed. Purpose: • To determine the nature of the IP (e.g., non‑residential, residential suspicious) and decide whether to block access. Terms and Privacy: • IPHub.info Terms of Service: https://iphub.info/legal/tos • IPHub.info Privacy Policy: https://iphub.info/legal/privacy ## Снимки на разширението [⌊Admin settings page with API key, blocking mode options, and whitelist functionality.⌉⌊ Admin settings page with API key, blocking mode options, and whitelist functionality .⌉[ Admin settings page with API key, blocking mode options, and whitelist functionality.

Invalid Traffic Blocker is a WordPress plugin that uses the IPHub.info API to detect and block unwanted traffic, including bots, VPNs, and suspicious IP addresses. It helps ensure that only valid traffic reaches your website. ### How do I configure the plugin? After activating the plugin, go to `Settings > Invalid Traffic Blocker`. Here you can enter your API key, select a blocking mode, and manage your IP whitelist. ### What if my API key is missing or invalid? If the API key is missing or incorrect, the plugin will not perform any blocking. Make sure to obtain a valid API key from [IPHub.info](https://iphub.info/register). ### Can I update the whitelist later? Yes, you can update the list of whitelisted IP addresses at any time from the settings page. ### How do I whitelist my IP? Click the „Whitelist My IP“ button on the settings page to add your current IP address to the whitelist. ## Отзиви ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cd82424a98488b7571da454b6006896d1df96042997073f5875a5c215d0589f3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Best option to block bad IP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-option-to-block-bad-ip/)󠁿 [mrcode98](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mrcode98/) 26.05.2025 i like this plugin is so easy to use and block all bad IPs [ Прочетете 1 отзив ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/invalid-traffic-blocker/reviews/) ## Сътрудници и разработчици “Invalid Traffic Blocker” е софтуер с отворен код.
