BLOCKING NOT WORKING…

Hi @lipctech,

Can you take a screenshot of what your live traffic looks like? (Expand one of the rows to see more details)

Something like this is what I want to see: https://i.imgur.com/G8p2uq8.png

I apologize for the late reply. I did some digging into this and it looks like this is a service (possibly belonging to amazon?) that scrapes sites looking for price comparisons.
See this thread for reference:

I haven’t found a way to block that exactly, though the thread above does say that it respects robots.txt, so you might try creating that file and adding the user agent you see in live traffic into it. What you are doing is block amazonaws which is the hosting service/cloud provider which may or may not work.

I reached out to MAPWatch but have not heard back from them as to how to properly get them to stop hitting your site. This is the link to their facebook page where you can try contacting them. I also found their contact information on the site.

The screenshot showing the IP blocked in China doesn’t seem to be part of the issue. That seems to be a malicious attempt to login using XML-RPC that was blocked by the Wordfence Security Network. When an IP tries to get into a Wordfence protected site too many times it makes the list and is blocked on all sites that have enabled that option.

I hope this helps.
