Cordon: Country & IP Blocker
Cordon: VPN & Country Blocker is a Shopify App designed to block bots, scrapers, VPNs, and country fraud before they reach the store. It offers the ability to customize rules for blocking specific countries and allowing trusted IPs, along with detecting VPNs, proxies, Tor exits, datacenter networks, bots, and scrapers. The app ensures fast decision-making with under 50 milliseconds per visit and fails open if the service is slow, allowing real customers to shop normally. Visitor IPs are securely hashed for privacy, making historical logs irreversible after 24 hours.
Cordon found something real on day one. Unwanted traffic is an ongoing concern. Within hours of installing, Cordon surfaced activity hitting our store that looked completely ordinary in every other analytics tool we run. We had no idea it was happening. The support is genuinely unparalleled. I sent over a long, detailed technical request and had a complete same-day reply that addressed every single point including honest "we can't do that, and here's exactly why" answers where the limits were real. No hedging. No upsell. No canned support script. They went further and helped us interpret what we were seeing and exactly what to do about it. That's the kind of response you'd expect from a dedicated security consultant, not a Shopify app. Setup took minutes, it hasn't cost us a millisecond of site speed, and it paid for itself immediately. If you have anything worth protecting, install cordon immediately! It sees what your analytics can't, and the team behind it actually knows what they're looking at.
