Country Blocker Fraud Securify

Our store is multi-language and the block message was only showing in English. Support helped me set up language-specific block messages — French for blocked French-speaking countries, Spanish for Latin America, and so on. Small detail that makes the block experience feel considered rather than lazy.
Worried that blocking countries would hurt our SEO because Google crawls from various locations. Support confirmed that search engine crawlers are whitelisted by default and showed me where to verify the whitelist. Our search rankings haven't changed since enabling blocking, which was my main concern.
Securify was conflicting with our Shopify password protection page. Support investigated and found the load order was causing blocked visitors to see the password page instead of the block message. They adjusted the script priority and now blocked visitors see the correct block page. Technical issue that I never would have figured out myself.
Requested email alerts for traffic spikes from blocked countries. Support configured the threshold alerts — I get an email whenever blocked attempts from a single country exceed 50 in an hour. Caught an attempted bot attack from a region we'd blocked within the first week. The early warning is genuinely useful.
We launched in Australia and needed to remove it from the block list while keeping historical data for comparison. Support showed me how to archive a rule instead of deleting it — the block stops but the historical traffic data stays accessible. Exactly the approach I wanted but didn't know how to ask for.
Created a redirect for blocked countries but it was causing an infinite loop because the landing page was on the same domain. Support diagnosed the loop in about two minutes, helped me exclude the landing page URL from the blocking rules, and the redirect started working properly. Quick turnaround on what felt like a complex issue.
Needed to redirect EU visitors to a subdomain instead of blocking them. Support configured the redirect rules for the specific countries and tested each one with me to confirm they landed on the right version. All 27 EU countries redirect correctly, and non-EU visitors see the main store. Exactly the compliance setup we needed.
Our fraud team wanted the blocked visitor log exported to CSV for their own analysis tools. Support pointed me to the data export feature and helped me set up a weekly automatic export to email. Now the fraud team gets their data every Monday morning without me having to do anything. The automation aspect was a nice bonus.
Wanted to block by device type after noticing suspicious desktop-only orders at odd hours. Support explained device-based blocking isn't available but suggested combining the visitor log data with time-based patterns to identify fraud. They helped me set up a custom analytics view to track it. Creative problem-solving even when the exact feature doesn't exist.
Asked about datacenter IP and proxy detection beyond standard VPNs. Support explained how the proxy detection database works and which types of proxies it can identify. Turned it on and our suspicious order rate dropped measurably. They didn't oversell the feature — they told me exactly what it catches and what slips through.
Still evaluating FREE version. Provides IP blocking that I needed ASAP. Good real-time monitoring and reporting. Other features available as well if needed. Thanks for making this app available
Found our images on a competitor's dropshipping site even with right-click protection on. Support acknowledged the limitation and helped me enable the inspect element blocking as an additional layer. They also recommended adding invisible watermarks to our images. The combination of app features plus practical advice is what good support looks like.
Asked about syncing rules across three Shopify stores. Support was honest that there's no automatic sync feature yet but showed me how to export and import rules via JSON. It's a manual step but takes about 30 seconds per store. They also mentioned they're working on multi-store management. Transparency about the roadmap is refreshing.
Only needed right-click protection on product pages, not the blog. Support showed me the page-specific targeting option — I can choose which URL patterns get protection. Set it to /products/* and our blog's embed functionality works perfectly again. Granular control like that is worth having.
Our page speed dropped after installing Securify and I was ready to uninstall. Support investigated and found the protection script was loading synchronously. They switched it to async loading on their end and our score recovered within a day. The willingness to actually diagnose a performance issue rather than giving a generic answer made the difference.
Wanted to block Southern Italy specifically while keeping Northern Italy open. Support explained that sub-country blocking isn't possible with IP geolocation at that precision — it's a technology limitation, not a product gap. They suggested using address validation at checkout instead. Honest answer, practical alternative.
I need to block one country by use free plan, it does not working at all, they offer paid plan, but I am not sure in it will work and in offer nothing said that free is BS plan
Installed app and had a few initial questions via the chat function - answered very clearly and quickly, very helpful with support and guidance.
A competitor was lifting our product descriptions word for word. Beyond right-click protection, support explained the bot detection layer that blocks automated scraping tools. They were clear it can't stop manual copying but it handles the automated stuff. The competitor's listings switched to generic descriptions within a week, which tells me the scraping was automated.
Needed to temporarily unblock Japan for a popup shop event. Support told me about the scheduled rules feature where I could set start and end dates for any block. Set it up, the block lifted on the exact day, and automatically restored two weeks later. Never had to think about it again. That feature alone saves ongoing admin work.
Instead of blocking visitors from countries we're considering expanding to, I wanted to survey them. Support helped me set up conditional redirects to a Google Form for five specific countries. Now we're collecting market research from the exact people we'd eventually sell to. Creative use of the redirect feature I wouldn't have considered.
Shopify's mobile app was letting blocked-country visitors browse our store. Support explained the app has its own traffic path that geo-blocking can't intercept — it's a Shopify platform limitation. They helped me add address validation at checkout as a secondary filter. Honest about what the app can and can't control
Our downloadable products needed extra protection beyond the standard content guard. Support configured enhanced protection for the /digital-downloads/* path, including both right-click blocking and direct URL protection. Someone trying to share a download link now gets a 403. Exactly the layered security our digital products needed.
Bot traffic from Eastern Europe was completely wrecking our analytics data. Support showed me the automated traffic filter that I didn't even know existed in the advanced settings. Enabled it and our analytics cleaned up within a couple of days. Now I can actually trust the numbers I'm looking at when making ad spend decisions.
Support was Honest with me when I asked about developer tools bypassing the right-click protection. They explained it stops casual copying but can't stop someone determined enough to use dev tools no App can. I appreciated the honesty. They suggested watermarking as a second layer, which I hadn't considered. The protection still catches 95% of the image theft attempts we were seeing.
Mobile site seemed slower than desktop after enabling protection. Support investigated and found the mobile protection script was loading an unnecessary font file. They removed it from our configuration and mobile performance improved. The kind of detail that shows they actually tested on mobile, not just desktop.
Migrating from another geo-blocking app and needed to replicate rules. Support helped me export my old app's settings and imported them into Securify through a CSV upload. All 47 country rules transferred correctly. The migration took about ten minutes instead of the hour I'd budgeted.
We only Sell domestically so I needed to block everything except three countries. I was dreading adding 190+ countries one by one, but Support pointed me to the bulk rule builder. Selected all, then unchecked the three I needed, and saved. Done in under a minute. Wouldn't have found that option on my own it's in a dropdown I didn't think to click.
Someone cloned our entire product catalog overnight — descriptions, images, everything showed up on a dropshipping site. After installing Securify, support helped me enable not just right-click protection but also the bot detection layer that blocks automated scraping tools. They were transparent that nothing stops a truly determined person, but the automated stuff is handled.
Had VPN-related chargebacks eating into our margins. Asked support about VPN detection and they walked me through the proxy blocking settings I hadn't noticed. Set it up in five minutes, and within two weeks the suspicious orders from VPN addresses stopped completely. The feature was already there — I just needed someone to show me where.
I messaged support about sessions from Brazil still showing up in Shopify analytics after I'd blocked the country. They explained the difference between Shopify's own analytics and what Securify can control — turns out the block was working perfectly, those were cached bot hits. They sent me a screenshot showing the block in action. That level of patience with a confused merchant matters a lot.
Effective blocking solution for unwanted traffic but most importantly prompt and knowledgeable live customer help.
j'ai bloqué certains pays qui continuent malgré tout à regarder mon site.
Arunava was great! Solid support and knowledge on how the systems work internally. Thanks!
Great app, easy to use and very quick replies on chat, if needed.
I've only been using this app for a few hours, but I'm extremely satisfied. It's easy to configure and even the Growth plan is worth the money. The support is incredibly fast and very competent. Any questions are answered and clarified immediately. Not every seller is as knowledgeable about this stuff. Overall, ABSOLUTELY TOP-NOTCH!!
useful to block IP address from specific countries.
We started getting checkout attempts from email domains we'd seen flagged in fraud reports. The checkout fraud blocking by email let me add a wildcard rule that stopped those attempts cold.

Hi there, we're sorry that you didn't see the value in Securify. After looking up, I can see you never configured any blocking rules, so Securify couldn't do what we do best, block unwanted visitors. I've reached out via email to see if I can help you out with setting everything up. Best regards, Goran
Excellent app with very useful security features. The country blocking and IP blocking functions work smoothly and are very easy to manage. It has helped us reduce unwanted traffic and improve store security significantly. The interface is simple, lightweight, and easy to configure even for advanced Shopify setups. Highly recommended for merchants who want better control over store access and visitor security.
Plans are unclear and inaccurate, otherwise app appears to work as advertised.
cannot control the bots you allow

Hi there, we are sorry to hear that. The engineering team is working on improving bot blocking feature to allow custom bot blocklists. I will reach out as soon as it's released. Goran from Securify
It helps up to some point, but it does not help to avoid bots from registering
The VPN blocking feature isn't working. I tried it with Unlimited VPN and it login my shop.
When I had a trouble, they responded and help solving the trouble very quickly. I recommend this app strongly as it visualize what are going on clearly and you can take measures to prevent future bot issues.

I couldn’t be more pleased Securify’s support took me through the entire setup: IP blocks, country filters, browser limits, plus how to interpret the visitor activity log.

The Securify team helped me tailor blocking rules for multiple countries and showed me how to review who’s attempting access via the visitor log. All with clarity and care.

After using for a week it appears to working. Only 4 out of 5 stars currently because visitors from blocked countries still appear on Shopify analytics. However, they are said to be blocked via Securify. There is hope in the future they will no longer be shown on Shopify but until then I cannot give a perfect rating.
Developer reply ·
I totally understand your concern, however this is a global restrictions from shopify, Even if you block a country, visitors from these country may still appear in Shopify or Google Analytics due to technical limitations. The blocking happens after the page is loaded, so Shopify cannot exclude them from analytics. To confirm the blocking is working, check the **Blocked Visitors Logs** in the Securify Dashboard. Also we are activelly working on many solutions that will help us to offer you a "analytics first blocking" system Thanks for your honest feedback
Excellent support! Appreciate their quick response and they were able to help me with my issue right away. Great app.
A very practical app that offers many features, such as blocking countries that cause issues, disabling right-click, blocking bots and VPNs, and many other options for you to discover.
Using this app to block out countries who are counterfeiting my products. Support is great and very responsive! Would highly recommend

Every time I need to tweak my IP or country block list, the Securify team is patient, friendly, and precise—plus the visitor log tracking helps me spot suspicious traffic before it becomes a problem.
Security helped me block a country I did not want viewing my site. They are very responsive and answer questions right away.

I’m continually impressed by Securify’s incredibly personal support—every time I hit a snag, their team not only explains things clearly but also helps me optimize IP blocking so my store runs smoother than ever.

Thank you for kind words. We are constantly trying to improve the support we provide to our users.
Haven't used it but a day or so. Hopeful it will get rid of the bots from china and elsewhere accessing my site for who knows what purpose as I only sell in the US Update: Isn't blocking anything. I get errors when I test it. I've send email to support twice with no reply? Was supposed to get a 30 day premium trail but didn't get that either Not sure what is going on
Didn't block countries I was having issues with abandoned checkouts for, all for the Seychelles. It said it had blocked 6, yet I still had 14 abandoned checkouts from that country in 4 days. Tried to get support on this twice and their reply time is too long to be waiting for a reply.
Quick response and clear accurate advice given to my concern. The solution is blocking visitors from a specific country that i want to exclude from my site. It was easy to install but i just needed assurance it was working andMendel gave that to me. Thank you
The IP and country blocker are working great, very reliable and effective. Big thanks to Goran for the excellent customer support!

Hey, I am sorry to hear that, it's just a misunderstanding, Shopify just made an update which turned off the app in your theme, You will just need to turn it on back, but we understand your confusion. We initiate a refund from April and email you.

Thank you for your feedback and for using Securify
Goran - perfect assistance! So far love this app! Was easy and fast set up!
Horrible App and customer service is no help at all... Customer service doesn't help. they ignore your messages. Also... this app doesn't work at all. I had blocked a certain country, and yet I still got multiple fraud orders from that country that I blocked. DO NOT RECOMMEND...

We are sad to see you didn't appreciate our services, We went in a call with you to help, and you said you appreciated the help. But just to give us a negative review. If you need help with anything else, let us know and we are happy to help
Tried to block Germany didnt work
Developer reply ·
Hi, It simply because you didn't enable the theme app extension on the store We tried to reach out many times, no reply ! In 12 minutes after installing an app, you can't have the time to set it and test. Best
It was exactly what we needed. And the support guys are so cool
Good customer service!
Developer reply ·
Thank you for your feedback.
Customer service was helpful but the app simply didn't work. I initially contacted to see if my app was properly embedded because I couldn't even block my own IP address. After much back and forth it was discovered my devices are sending an ipv6 address. However I put in both the ipv6 and ipv4 ip addresses to test this app on not only my own ip but another many states away within the same country. I was suggested to upgrade twice within the troubleshooting. But it did not work. I have to leave a low review as I was asked multiple times to leave a review yet my issue was not resolved.
Developer reply ·
Hello Astral, Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for the inconvenience caused by the review requests. Currently, our application is limited to IPv4 support. We rely on Shopify for IP data, which may include IPv6, but we don’t have control over the computer or Shopify IP versions. Our advanced version does support IPv6, and we’ve provided a demonstration to illustrate this potential solution. Our solution has been instrumental in protecting hundreds of merchants’ stores daily. We’ll clarify these limitations and provide further assistance if needed. Please contact dev@otp.plus for any inquiries.
