This plugin is a security add-on designed for website administrators who need to prevent automated abuse and malicious traffic. It works by screening every visitor's IP address against the AbuseIPDB database, blocking those reported for harmful activity within the last week.

IP Reputation Check: Automatically queries the AbuseIPDB API to assess the risk of each connecting IP address, denying entry to those with recent abuse reports.
Domain Verification Support: Allows users to verify their domain with AbuseIPDB, which increases the daily limit for API queries.
Built-in Caching: Includes a cache system to store IP check results, reducing repeated API calls to conserve usage limits and improve page load times.
Compatibility with Proxies: Correctly handles IP addresses forwarded by services like CloudFlare, ensuring the real visitor IP is checked.
No JavaScript Dependency: Functions entirely on the server-side, providing protection even for visitors with JavaScript disabled in their browsers.
