    Great plugin Jeff. I have to disable at the moment though since it doesn’t support to block the real IP behind Cloudflare’s DNS. Hopefully you could add this future soon? Or could I do something as a workaround for this at the moment?

    Thanks.

    Hi annelb, thanks for the feedback. The plugin doesn’t block based on IPs, rather it blocks based on bot names (i.e., user agents). So your “real” IP is not a factor for the plugin to work normally. You can learn more about how it works in the documentation.

    Coolness. Is there a way then instead of the Cloudflare’s IP is logged on the list, will see the IP behind that violates the robots.txt rule?

    Currently the plugin is configured to log the most forward-facing IP, so in your case Cloudflare will be logged. At this time there is not an option to change this default behavior.
