A detailed summary about blocking the IP
| Blocked Status | This shows whether the user was successfully blocked. A status of "Yes" indicates that the system's rules were triggered, and the user's activity was stopped. |
| Control Time | This is the exact timestamp when the user was first detected and blocked. It marks the moment the system took action. |
| Total Fraud Attempts | This shows how many times the user triggered the fraud rules. In this example, the number "8" indicates that the user has repeatedly engaged in fraudulent behavior. This is a strong indicator of persistent malicious intent rather than a one-time error. |
These details provide solid evidence that a user not only violated a single rule but was also actively trying to hide their location and continued their fraudulent activity over time. This demonstrates the system's effectiveness in detecting and blocking fraudulent traffic.
| Type of Fraud | Specifies the type of fraud detected. |
| USINGPROXY | Indicates that the user is using a proxy or VPN to hide their true location. This is a common tactic among click fraudsters. |
| OVERTHRESHOLD | Indicates that the user has exceeded a predefined limit (e.g., too many clicks in a certain period of time). |
| Rule | Describes the specific rule that was triggered (e.g., "Geographic Fraud: Proxy, Hosting" or "Exceeded Limit Rule |
| Detected on | This is a chronological list that shows the time each fraud rule was triggered. The list reveals the user's repeated fraudulent attempts on different days. |
The Blocking History tab provides a comprehensive audit log of every time a specific IP address was blocked by ClickSambo. This transparency allows you to verify exactly why a visitor was excluded and how the system protected your budget.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Reason | The primary justification for the block (e.g., Overthreshold for exceeding click limits or Bot Detected). |
| Info | The specific rule or threshold that was triggered (e.g., 2 Ad Clicks in 1 Day). |
| Blocked Time | The exact date and timestamp when the blocking action occurred. |
| Google Excluded | A Yes or No status indicating whether the IP was successfully synchronized and added to your Google Ads exclusion list. |
| Trigger Source | Identifies if the block was performed automatically by the System (based on your rules) or Manually by a user. |
| Exclusion Level | The scope of the block (e.g., Customer level excludes the IP from all your campaigns). |
| Exclusion Details | Additional system logs regarding the exclusion process, confirming the successful update of external blacklists. |
This history serves as a vital record for auditing your protection settings and can be used as supporting evidence when requesting invalid click refunds from advertising platforms.
