Ban IPs

Specify the visitor’s IP addresses in LiveAgent that you wish to ban so annoying visitors won’t be able to bother your agents anymore.

Ban is applied to:

• Chats
• Contact forms
• Calls (call button)
• Suggestions
• Forum posts

Chats: A visitor can see a chat button, but he can not start a chat session with an available agent. A banned visitor can just leave an offline message, which will be automatically marked as Spam.

Contact forms: A message added by a banned visitor through a contact form will be automatically marked as Spam.

Calls: Calls through the call contact widget (call button) will be redirected to a voicemail (and marked as Spam) or it’ll just end the call – according to your IVR setup.

Suggestions/Forum posts: Banned users are not able to register and contribute to forum/add suggestions from banned IP address.
