Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Proxy & VPN Blocker
proxycheck.io is a reliable API that detects visitors using VPNs, proxies, Tor, or other anonymizing networks. Proxy & VPN Blocker connects to this API to check each visitor’s IP in real time, helping you block VPN users, proxies, or spam bots before they can access your WordPress site.
In the settings, enable “Block on all pages.” This option tells Proxy & VPN Blocker to check every page view for proxy or VPN traffic. ⚠️ Note: Using this feature may increase API usage significantly and may not work well with caching plugins (see below).
If you use caching plugins like WP Rocket, WP Super Cache, or W3 Total Cache, they may serve static pages that bypass the plugin’s IP detection. To fix this, enable the Add DONOTCACHEPAGE Headers option under PVB Settings > Page Caching. This ensures proxy and VPN checks always run correctly.
No worries! Upload a text file named disablepvb.txt to your WordPress root directory.
After fixing your settings, delete the file to re-enable protection.
Yes. The plugin can function without an API key, but you’ll be limited to 100 daily queries. For more reliable protection, register for a free proxycheck.io API key, which gives you 1,000 daily queries. Paid plans provide 10,000+ per day for larger sites.
Yes. The plugin optionally logs registration and recent login IP addresses, displayed in the WordPress Users list and profile pages. Each IP is linked to proxycheck.io’s Threats page for detailed insights. This feature helps you identify suspicious or abusive users at a glance.
Yes. Only visitor IPs are transmitted to proxycheck.io for lookup, no personally identifiable data. See proxycheck.io Privacy Policy and GDPR Compliance for details.
No, this plugin is developed independently but is officially recommended by proxycheck.io. For plugin support, use the WordPress.org support forum. For API or account support, contact proxycheck.io directly.
