Description
The Block IPs plugin provides a straightforward solution to enhance the security of your Gravity Forms by preventing submissions from specific IP addresses. By allowing administrators to block unwanted or malicious IPs, the plugin helps reduce spam and unauthorized form submissions. IP addresses can be easily added to the blocklist through the WordPress admin interface, ensuring that unwanted traffic is effectively curtailed without impacting legitimate users.
This plugin leverages the built-in WordPress Disallowed Comment Keys feature to validate form fields against blocked IPs or disallowed content, extending this protection across all form submissions or individual form fields as needed. It supports blocking single IP addresses as well as entire IP ranges using CIDR notation, providing flexibility to site owners in restricting access by varied criteria. These measures help maintain the integrity of data collected through Gravity Forms and safeguard the website against spam and abuse.
The plugin works silently in the background to prevent blocked users from successfully submitting forms, thereby improving site security without disrupting user experience.
