Check any IP. Block the ones that cost you money.
Predax tells you whether a visitor is on a VPN, a proxy, Tor, a rented server, or an address with a history of attacking other sites — and the free WordPress and WooCommerce plugins act on that without a line of code.

What makes Predax different
There are good IP data providers. What is unusual here is that the data arrives already wired into something that enforces it.
It ships as something that actually blocks
Most IP data providers hand you a score and leave the enforcement to you. Predax ships the WordPress and WooCommerce plugins that act on it — thresholds, monitor mode, order holds, allow lists — so a non-developer can run it.
You choose which crawlers may read your site
Separate switches for search engines, AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) and SEO crawlers. Identity is confirmed against the ranges each operator publishes, so a spoofed user-agent gets nothing — unlike robots.txt, which is a request, or user-agent blocking, which is trivially faked.
Blocking that never quietly costs you visitors
Monitor mode shows what a rule would have done without doing it, every decision is logged with the reason it fired, verified search engines are exempt, and anyone caught wrongly can be approved in one click.
A threat network you opt into, not out of
Attackers stopped on other sites can become known to yours. It is off until you switch it on, and only IP-level facts are ever shared — never customer data.

Who it's for
Stores taking card payments
Card testing and stolen-card orders are screened during checkout, before your payment provider is contacted — so a blocked attempt never becomes a gateway fee or a chargeback.
Sites getting hammered by bots
Automated traffic from datacenters and residential proxies is identified and turned away, while verified search engines are deliberately let through.
Anywhere people sign up
Throwaway signups, credential stuffing and repeat abuse from the same networks are caught at registration and login — screen the email in the same request, against 8,300+ disposable domains.
Content worth protecting
Enforce geographic rules, and decide for yourself which AI and SEO crawlers are allowed to read your pages.
