 * In response to a recent spike in malicious bot-network activity, I stumbled across
   this plugin while researching the benefits of using Cloudflare as a reverse-proxy
   to protect agains DoS, DDoS and related attacks. I have been blown away by how
   effective it has been, how intuitive it was to set up, and how feature-rich it
   is. I keep thinking ‘this is too good to be true’, but after installing this 
   on several projects and monitoring the impact, I have no misgivings. I highly
   recommend this to anyone interested in or concerned about the recent global tsunami
   of malicious bot network attacks. Works great in conjunction with Cloudflare –
   but can be used without Cloudflare integration. If I could give this more than
   5 stars, I would. 10 out of 5 🙂

 * Hi Pat,
 * Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an incredibly detailed and
   positive review! Reading your feedback truly made my day.
 * I’m thrilled to hear that the plugin has been so effective in mitigating those
   bot-network attacks across your projects. Making the security features powerful
   yet intuitive—especially the Cloudflare integration—has been one of my top priorities,
   so knowing that it hit the mark for you means a lot.
 * Your “10 out of 5” rating is the highest compliment I could ask for. If you ever
   have any suggestions, feature requests, or need assistance in the future, please
   don’t hesitate to reach out.
 * Thanks again for trusting Advanced IP Blocker to protect your sites!
 * Best regards,
 * IniLerm
