Automatic blocking

Configure protection for each website, then let AdProtektor evaluate traffic and apply eligible actions automatically. Open the dashboard when you want to inspect reasons, evidence or exceptions; no per-visitor approval is required.

Choose where protection acts

Settings → Protection contains separate controls for click protection, website enforcement and AI influence. Their relationship matters: an AI click-block setting does not activate a disabled parent protection path.

AI analysis and its influence on paid-click blocking, website blocking and threat scoring are separate settings. Eligible pipeline verdicts can affect enforcement only when the relevant controls and safety gates allow it. Opening an AI explanation in the dashboard does not itself authorize a block.

Eligible blocked IPs are submitted through an active linked Google Ads account, using account or selected-campaign scope. Platform support, account permissions and successful synchronization affect enforcement; the block decision alone is not proof that an exclusion reached Google.

Meta

For active linked Meta accounts, eligible blocked-person audience membership is maintained hourly, including removal of expired or unblocked entries. Meta matching and processing, together with campaign audience settings, determine whether and when an exclusion applies.

Your website

Website enforcement is a separate setting. It can prevent identified blocked visitors from accessing the site, according to the selected mode and available signals.

Check the actual outcome

Inspect block reasons, expiry and exclusion history. Estimated protected value is not a confirmed refund or proof that every repeat click was prevented.

False positives are possible. Inspect the reason and available evidence, adjust the relevant settings and whitelist a known legitimate visitor when appropriate.

Frequently asked questions

Do I approve individual automatic actions?

No. Your configuration guides automatic protection; manual review and overrides remain available.

Can I turn a protection path off?

Use the relevant click-protection, website-enforcement and AI-influence controls. Existing blocks and external exclusions are separate records; review them if you need to undo previous actions.

Can a legitimate visitor be blocked?

False positives are possible. Inspect the reason and available evidence, adjust the relevant settings and whitelist a known legitimate visitor when appropriate.
