How to Manage Country and IP Blocker in Transtore

The Country and IP Blocker feature helps you control who can access your store by restricting traffic from specific countries or IP addresses. This is useful for reducing unwanted visits, improving store security, and managing regional access more effectively.

I. How Country & IP Blocker Works​

Transtore allows you to block access in two ways:

1. Block by Country​

You can prevent visitors from specific countries from accessing your store.

Pros:

  • Easy to set up
  • Effective for blocking large regions or markets you don’t serve

Cons:

  • Country detection is based on IP location and may vary if visitors use VPNs or proxies.

2. Block by IP Address​

You can block access from specific IP addresses.

Pros:

  • Very precise control
  • Ideal for blocking known bots, spam traffic, or suspicious users

Cons:

  • Requires knowing the exact IP address
  • Less practical for blocking large groups of visitors

3. Redirect Blocked Visitors​

Instead of showing an error page, Transtore allows you to redirect blocked visitors to a specific URL. You can send them to a custom page, homepage, or an external URL

This helps maintain a smoother experience while still restricting access.
