    Hi

    Getting lots of traffic from Russia on my site. (Based on Google Analytics) it’s concerning cause it’s an e-shop targeting Europe countries. There are also lots of pings from other North American countries. Any suggestions on how to avoid it, besides blocking access completely?

    Thanks

    Hi @anatdenton, thanks for your question.

    Ultimately, country blocking is a Premium feaure, which we can’t discuss here on the forums so by all means drop our excellent team at presales @ wordfence . com a message if you need any further information on whether this could help in the way you intend to use it.

    Aside from that, Wordfence is trying to work with the people hit the hardest by cyber attacks from Eastern Europe, but appreciate the concern of site owners everywhere. Real time threat intelligence is only available to paid subscribers and we feel this is a huge benefit for them.

    Wordfence Free will look after your WordPress installation using its extensive database of vulnerabilities, signatures to detect exploitable plugins, currently known “bad” IPs/hostnames, and malicious files. Rules updates are released weekly for the free version of Wordfence to assist with this. For this reason, a manual blocking regime isn’t absolutely necessary as Wordfence will be restricting many possible attack vectors from threats all around the world automatically. Wordfence is mostly interested in protecting you against the actions and intent of an IP, rather than purely the location it originates from.

    Thanks,

    Peter.
