IP block list

While the Security module is on, an address on this list can't use your store: browsing, signing in, cart and checkout all refuse it with "your IP address has been blocked". A new block takes effect straight away; switching the module off or on takes up to 30 seconds.

  • Accepts single addresses (IPv4 or IPv6) and ranges written like 192.168.1.0/24.
  • Shows each entry as Blocked until its expiry, then Expired. An expired entry stops blocking on its own.
  • Your admin panel stays reachable from a blocked address, but signing in uses the same check, so never block your own address.

Before you block:

  • Many Indian mobile users share one public IP through their mobile network. Blocking one address can block many real shoppers.
  • Home broadband IPs change often, so a block on one address rarely stops a determined person for long.

If you have a real abuse problem (for example many fake COD orders), contact CartWhizz support.
