SentryBlock is a security plugin designed for website administrators who need to control and filter incoming traffic. It works by analyzing HTTP requests and blocking those that match defined rules, helping to prevent spam, brute-force attacks, and other malicious activity from reaching the site.

• IP Address Blocking: Manually or automatically block traffic from specific IP addresses or entire ranges to stop repeat offenders.
• User Agent Filtering: Identify and block requests from known malicious bots, scrapers, or unwanted crawlers based on their user agent strings.
• Request Logging: View a detailed log of all blocked requests, including the reason for the block and the matched rule, for monitoring and analysis.
• Custom Rule Creation: Define advanced blocking rules using patterns for URLs, referrers, or other request headers to target specific threats.
• Server Load Reduction: By blocking unwanted traffic at the earliest possible stage, the plugin helps conserve server resources and improve site performance for legitimate visitors.
