# X Shield: IP Country Blocker

> Shopify security app by B2B Gold that blocks fraudulent and unwanted visitors by country, city, IP, CIDR or network (ASN), stops bots, scrapers, VPN/proxy/Tor traffic and spy tools, protects storefront content, and cross-checks new orders against the store's own block history.

Listed on the Shopify App Store as "X Shield: IP Country Blocker" (formerly "X Shield Fraud Country Blocker" and "X Shield Fraud Filter IP Block"). Embedded in the Shopify admin, compatible with the latest themes, available in 20 languages. Launch date: July 14, 2025.

## What it does

- Country blocker: block or allow countries, regions and cities, with page targeting.
- IP blocker: single IP addresses, CIDR ranges, IPv6 and whole networks by ASN, plus a bypass list.
- Bot control: stop scrapers and headless browsers while Googlebot, Bingbot and chosen AI crawlers stay allowed, verified against each vendor's published IP ranges rather than User-Agent.
- VPN, proxy and Tor detection for anonymous and high-risk traffic.
- Content protection: disable right-click, copy, text selection, keyboard shortcuts and image or video saving.
- Spy tool and developer tool detection, including PPSPY, Koala Inspector and SimplyTrends, on desktop and mobile.
- Dry run and a rule tester: prove rules against real traffic before they block anyone.
- Visitor analytics: every blocked and allowed visit with the reason, IP, country and page.
- Order protection: checks each new order against the block history, writes the evidence into Shopify's fraud analysis, and can tag or reversibly hold fulfillment.
- Custom blocked page or redirect, blocked page designer, and scheduled email reports.
