Blocks browsers that have JavaScript disabled. This is a common tactic used by bots and automation tools to avoid detection and manipulate tracking scripts.
Enabling this feature ensures that only visitors with standard, modern browser capabilities can interact with your site and ads. This creates a strong barrier against many forms of automated fraudulent behavior.
When a visitor with a JavaScript-disabled browser attempts to access your site, ClickSambo will immediately block their IP address.

Detects and blocks IP addresses that are using VPNs, proxies, or the Tor network to hide their true location. These services are frequently used to disguise fraudulent activity.
This feature prevents clicks from anonymous or geographically masked sources. It ensures your ads are served to users in your targeted locations and helps maintain the integrity of your campaign data, leading to more accurate reporting and better ROI.
When a visitor attempts to access your site using a known VPN, proxy, or the Tor network, ClickSambo will immediately block their IP address.
Our advanced engine uses a multi-layered approach to analyze every visit in real-time, providing your primary defense against automated traffic.
| L1 | Real-Time Engine | We analyze dozens of signals instantly, including behavioral patterns (speed, mouse movement), device fingerprinting (screen resolution, fonts), and IP reputation (known proxies/VPNs). |
| L2 | Scoring & Risk | Every visitor is assigned a Bot Probability Score (1-100) based on the analysis: Medium Risk (50-79): Suspicious traits. Monitored but not blocked by default. High Risk (80-89): Strong indicators of automation. Blocked by default. Critical (90-100): Definite malicious bots. Always blocked. |
| L3 | Classification | We label the specific threat type, such as suspicious_automation (inhuman speed), pattern_automation (repetitive scripts), or click_fraud_bot (malicious ad interaction). |
You have full control over the engine's sensitivity via your Domain Settings screen.
