Functionality
Runs out of the box without any problems right after installing it.
Ease of use
Everything is selfexplanatory. But don't forget to read the documentation.
Support
Not needed, as very simple. After installation support was offered with a friendly email without asking for it. Great!
Documentation
Is short and effeictive, and should be read to get most out of the extension.
Value for money
10 $ are a very reasonable price for all the excellent features.
I used this to: For two websites, which were increasingly under attack after another very well known security extension I used removed IP-Blocking. So these two extensions seem to complement each other very well.

I can relax now ;)

Functionality
For months now I was fighting spoofmails. More or less without any success.
Ease of use
Probably I thought: "Install. Problem solved." Well, with most software it's not that easy.
Support
But Ruud took a lot of time to help me out. He is very helpful, friendly and fast.
Value for money
I'm over the rainbow now. Money? What money? It costs more or less nothing anyway. You hardly get better value for it.
I used this to: protecting my business website. And I think, that's what it does.
Functionality
One click install, easy plugin settings. My favorite part is how the bad IP lists are updated automatically each day.
Ease of use
I was up and running in 2 minutes. The plugin immediately started blocking malicious traffic from known bad IPs.
Support
OCH have provided my the best support of all Joomla developers I have worked with over the years.
Documentation
Value for money
A great addition to my growing arsenal of OCH plugins and components that have become default installs on every site I maintain.
