Common Block Residential Proxies Mistakes for Baby Stores
- 1 Blocking too broadly — start with targeted rules and expand based on data rather than blocking entire regions your baby customers might come from
- 2 Not reviewing blocked traffic logs — regular reviews help you catch false positives and discover new threat patterns
- 3 Setting up blocking once and forgetting it — threat patterns change, and your baby store's rules should evolve with them
- 4 Ignoring the analytics impact — blocking bad traffic improves your data quality, but only if you re-baseline your metrics after implementation
- 5 Not combining blocking methods — layered protection using multiple blocking types provides much stronger security than any single method
