multiBlocker™ — the full control

fantomas multiBlocker™

professional ip blocker, spam, fraud and snoop protector: blocks predefined IPs, UserAgents and Hosts from accessing your web pages.

Here's an (unsolicited) client comment:

“I mainly got fantomas multiBlocker™ to block individual IP addresses of individuals placing bogus orders at my web site. I was getting 5 to 10 bogus orders a week and now it's a slow trickle to maybe one a month since I started blocking the jerks' IP addresses.” — Ken B.

The Problem

Snoops and Frivolous Litigation

What with the web becoming ever more competitive, there's a lot of people out there after your hide. They will check, among other things, whether your site is infringing trade marks and violating copyright, etc. More often than not, their snoop bots are quite aggressive, deep crawling (and presumably caching) your site without your permission, ignoring the robots.txt convention, etc.

If you've got serious money to lose (or if you give that impression), you can safely bet on it that some shark will try to get at it sooner or later. This may very well concern your clients as well. Seeing that people have been (and are being) sued for a mere link on their site, this issue should not be trivialized. If you simply so much as mention Microsoft Windows or Dell or what have you on your site, you run a very realistic risk of being sued brainless these days.

It is for cases like these that we originally devised fantomas multiBlocker™, the spider trap. We were not particularly amused by this sort of activity, even though we have nothing to hide.

Legitimate pursuit of copyright infringements and trademark piracy etc. is one thing — violation of privacy and provocation of unwarranted, frivolous litigation because of mere greediness is another.

But it definitely doesn't end there …

The Spam Flood

Then there's email extractors or “harvesters”: they will blithely crawl your site for any available email address you may feature on your pages, ignoring the Robots Text Exclusion Standard (robots.txt). The result: your address(es) will be sold to email marketers, flooding your mail box with tons and tons of spam mail — it may literally take years to get off those lists again!

Credit Card Fraud

Worried about your rate of credit card chargebacks? Getting lots of fishy online orders originating from foreign web hosts — with your bank charging an arm and a leg for chargebacks and you, as an honest web vendor, absolutely helpless against these frauds? You may even lose your online merchant account that way, not an endearing prospect at all!

Start making money again instead of chasing those evasive crooks — simply block them by Top Level Domain once and for all!

Spiders Rampant

Badly programmed, “misbehaved” spiders (e.g. whackers, some search bots, and others) running rampant on your site, getting lost in logical loops and issuing dozens if not hundreds of identical page requests may easily wreak havoc and can crash your whole system. This can cost you dearly: the time, labor, bandwidth and system resources wasted may be daunting. Thinking of sueing the instigators for damages? Good luck, you're sure going to need it! While weight of proof may not be such a big deal if your server logs are easily accessible, trying to get hold of someone hiding behind an overseas provider address is well nigh impossible and will, at the very least, prove exorbitantly costly.

From now on:

• let those snoops waste their own resources, not yours!
• stop that spam flood!
• protect your online business
• &clobber the crooks!
