How it decides

Before blocking a country, you know what you lose

Blocking countries blindly is the fastest way to end up without customers. That's why SWPanel's country blocking comes with a consultant that looks at your real traffic and shows you the cost of each decision.

Overview

The map of your traffic

Blocked countries, continents, attempts stopped and, most usefully, the percentage of risky traffic still getting in and where it comes from.

  • 251 countries and 7 continents
  • What you have blocked and where traffic comes from
  1. Blocked countries and continents out of 251 and 7.
  2. Unblocked risky traffic: here, 13 %, from Belgium, Singapore and India.

Scenarios

Three options, with their price in visits

Surgical, by continent or only your market. Each scenario says what it blocks and what share of people and scanners it removes. And if it needs to know something, such as whether you have suppliers in the United Kingdom, it asks you.

  • Remembers your answers
  • You apply the scenario with a click and undo it the same way
  1. It asks what it can't know: do you have customers or suppliers in the United Kingdom?
  2. It remembers what you already answered and takes it into account.
  3. Scenario A, surgical: only countries with an attack profile.
  4. Scenario B, by continent.
  5. Scenario C, only your market.

Blocking a country has a cost and a benefit

The AI consultant shows you both with figures: who you lose and which threats you remove. It gives you three scenarios and a verdict country by country.

01

Three scenarios, with numbers

Cautious, balanced or strict. For each one, the legitimate visits you'd leave out and the attacks you'd avoid.

  • Visits you'd lose
  • Attacks you remove
  • Verdict country by country
