 * This plugin seems to be over zelaous
    It was blocking my client from accessing
   her own website, telling her she was a spammer. It is blocking AHREFS SEO reports
   from accessing certain pages It was also blocking me from accessing the contact
   page on my clients site calling me a spammer.
 * So if its blocking me and the client then I have to assume it is also blocking
   loads of other legit visitors for no reason.
 * There seems to be no way to control the detection levels and how over zealous
   it is.

 * Hey lordsnake, version 5 was just released with more control when blocking. Please
   update to the latest, I suspect it’ll solve the issues.
 * Thanks for letting me know!
