Also with cpanel and .htaccess you have to of course log in and edit them each time you want to ban or remove a ban, mines a little more user friendly

Thanks Simon :up:, regarding your other mod is it possible to be modified in the future to block users from anonymous proxy?

... That will be a great add on

... However I note a significant drop in the number of my site visitors after installing the mod, is that attributed to blocking bad bots only or could be also some normal visitors are not able now to access my forum? ... Also is the drop in the visitor numbers would affect my over all alexa rank? ... Regards,
