    Glad to help.

    This plugin blocks bad bots that fall into the hidden trap. The blocking is based on the bot’s IP address. So in order to block *all* bots, you would need the IP address for each of them. Which I’m pretty sure is impossible. There are millions of bots, many of them are “good” or at least not “bad”. For example, Googlebot crawls web pages for inclusion in the Google search results. Likewise for other search engines like Bing, Brave, DuckDuckGo, and many others.

    I hope this helps, let me know if I can provide any further information.

    Thank you for your response, but I saw in the settings there is a white list. If you delete all the bots in it, does it block all bots?

    Sorry no, as explained:

    “This plugin blocks bad bots that fall into the hidden trap.”

    So if they don’t fall into the trap, they won’t be blocked.

    If a bot is on the allow list and falls into the trap, they will not be blocked. Otherwise if a bot is not on the allow list and falls into the trap, they will be blocked.

    I hope this helps, let me know if I can provide any further information.
