How Zero Budget Bot Shield works
Show full descriptionShow less
Zero Budget Bot Shield is a WordPress security plugin that provides country blocking and 404 abuse protection without using external APIs or services
Country Blocking Without External APIs Most geo-blocking plugins depend on third-party IP lookup services.
Zero Budget Bot Shield does not.
Instead, it reads country codes directly from:
Cloudflare IP country headers
Hosting provider GeoIP headers
Standard server-level GeoIP integrations
This means:
No API keys
No outbound IP lookups
No visitor data sent to external services
No privacy policy complexity
Features All features are available out of the box, with nothing locked behind a paywall.
Country blocking using server-level GeoIP headers
No external APIs, IP databases, or paid services
Automatic detection and blocking of 404 abuse
Configurable rate limits and time windows
Admin dashboard with statistics and event logs
Exportable logs for auditing and analysis
