    Hello!
    I have a question:
    how to protect the site from visits through proxy servers?
    I found a way to protect:https://perishablepress.com/block-tough-proxies/
    `<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:VIA} !^$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:FORWARDED} !^$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:USERAGENT_VIA} !^$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:X_FORWARDED_FOR} !^$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:PROXY_CONNECTION} !^$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:XPROXY_CONNECTION} !^$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTP_PC_REMOTE_ADDR} !^$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTP_CLIENT_IP} !^$
    RewriteRule .* – [F]
    </ifModule>

    How correct is this?

    Can you implement a proxy protection option in Defender Security?
    The site is being attacked to reduce behavioral factors. They come from spoofed IPs and referrer. I can’t block them. Access to bad bots is blocked on the server. I applied all the recommended settings in Defender Security.
    I suspect that the proxy should be blocked.

    Hi @margomm

    Sorry for the delay here.

    The htacess sounds to do the trick, I suggest testing on a lab site and check how it goes before applying to live site.

    For the Defender, we sent it as a feature request to our developers, I am afraid we can’t give an estimated time or if we will implement it but please keep eyes on the plugin updates.

    Best Regards
