### 󠀁[Blocks real users](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blocks-real-users/)󠁿

Tried the plugin for a week, started getting feedback from users finding the website
on Google and not allowed to visit the website, redirected away. Turned off the 
plugin, everything works again. Great idea for the plugin, just unreliable and can
hurt traffic to your website.
