 * Hello, I’m using your plugin for a while already, and it worked perfectly until
   today. I got 359 visits from Boardman, USA, direct traffic. Plugin did not block
   them for some reason. Could you please, help me?
    Thanks.

 * Glad to help. The plugin does not block all bad requests. It only blocks bots
   that disobey your robots/meta rules and follow the hidden trigger link. So that
   would be the first thing to look at, whether the “Boardman” IP address has been
   blocked by the plugin. To find out, you can look at the “Bad Bots” page in the
   plugin settings.
