Didn’t work in testing on latest WP + Nginx 1.14.1 when following the nofollow link. The logs should at least be viewable to the site admin, it’s just mean gatekeeping that.

The plugin does an amazing job. I have one “research-test-site” where I use a combination of plugins, that are not supported any longer. The result: the site is getting hacked (Malware injection) every 1-2 weeks. Then I restored the site and audited it again. Wordfence free didn’t do anything, well they correctly found the corrupted files but didn’t prevent anything. With Blackhole, the problem is fixed. I get 1-2 warnings per week, that a bad bot was blocked. Works great, thank you for your solution!

Sorry, but you guys failed to block Amazon bot and Claudebot, these AI tools are killers. Since i set it up at 2am, I have over 50000 requests and it is 10 am.

I added this to my site; when I tried to add Google Analytics, they scanned my site and then my URL was marked with phishing — this plugin was one of the culprits. I don’t believe this plugin itself has phishing content, but the way it’s coded into the website gives a red flag to Criminal IP because it’s a ‘hidden element.’ I’m getting this report with some other plugins too, but I just wanted to make everyone aware in case this ever happens to them.

I hate to give a negative score and I am sure it’s a great plugin for those who have a set up where it works, but for me it turned out this plugin was not compatible with LSCache. Had to uninstall it.
Edit: I changed the score after discussions with the author. It’s a great plugin and I was being unfair. Hope to see with work with cache plugins in the future.

This is a great, easy to setup, plugin, that I highly recommend. I have it installed on about 15 websites I manage. A simple and effective solution for cutting down on malicious and resource wasting bot activity.

The blackhole plugin has been a useful part of my offensive countermeasures on my site, and its completely invisible. The idea is clever, and its a bit satisfying to think of bots just walking themselves into the banhammer.
The user interface is also very straightforward, with just enough customization to prevent it from causing problems with official bots if they happen to… stray.

I use several plugins on any website I build – and I like them all. And I especially like this one. Having created a variety of black hole traps for bots on my own, I love the simplicity of this one! It is easy to set up and configure and has quickly joined the ranks of ‘must install’ plugins in my arsenal!
The range of purchase options is good, and has allowed me to easily upgrade from one site to ten sites as the need arose.
Well done!

Since the site I administer is not primarily for the general public, I spend a lot of time trying to keep the bots away, both for the security of the site, and the privacy of those using it. Even though our site uses protection offered by Cloudflare, there are still some bots that manage to get through. I liked what this plugin did so well, that I got the pro version for the flexibility it provided.

Godaddy sent me a notification of a malware file within the WordPress Blackhole For Bad Bots plugin. Love the plugin but that was a little strange. I removed the file so we’ll see if it affects the plugin performance.

I installed Black Hole for Bad Bots two months ago when I was being hammered by crawlers, and in that time it nabbed a couple of bad bots. Good. No stability or performance issues. Seems reliable and apparently it works as described on the back of the box.

At first, this plugin seemed very promising, but then it keeps blocking Google Bots.
It blocked Adsense and also Google Search Console kept telling me there were indexing issues, all this despite of whitelisting bots or not.

Useful intrusive bot banner – the impudent bot basher unleashed! Set and (almost) forget handling and detailed reports are just a few points to get this must-have plugin! I like the way how bots are handled, by giving the only one chance to respect the robots.txt rules – ignore them and be banned, bot! >:-)

the plugin works great, the help from the creator very good … I have it working in combination with another security plugin and it does not slow down the site.
too bad I didn’t meet him before!
