Advanced Traffic Statistics: From Insight to Active Defense​

Transform your forum statistics into a security fortress.Advanced Traffic Statistics is not just a "Who's Online" widget anymore. It is a comprehensive Traffic Intelligence & Active Defense System that tracks visits, categorizes bot traffic with surgical precision, and actively protects your server from resource-draining scrapers and AI crawlers.

Supports XenForo, Bob’s Article Management System (AMS), and Quiz System PRO.

NEW IN v1.6.3: ACTIVE DEFENSE SYSTEM​

Why just count bots when you can control them?We have introduced a firewall-grade protection layer that intercepts traffic before it loads XenForo, saving massive amounts of CPU and RAM.

• AI Shield: Blocks Large Language Model scrapers (ChatGPT, GPTBot, Claude, CommonCrawl) from training on your community's unique content.
• Junk Shield: Automatically identifies and blocks aggressive commercial crawlers (Ahrefs, Semrush, MJ12) and script-kiddie tools (Python requests, Curl, Wget) that consume your bandwidth for zero return.
• Emergency Mode: A "Panic Button" to block ALL unknown bots instantly during a DDoS attempt or high-load anomaly.

INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC CLASSIFICATION​

We rewrote the detection engine from scratch to distinguish between friend and foe:

1. Authorized Crawlers (Green): Essential traffic like Google, Bing, Yahoo is whitelisted.
2. Social & Tech Bots (Allowed): We now recognize WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, and Cloudflare bots to ensure link previews and services work perfectly.
3. AI & LLM Scrapers (Purple): Identifies bots stealing data for AI training.
4. Aggressive/Unknown Bots (Red): Unclassified traffic or known bad actors are flagged and can be blocked.

TRAFFIC INSIGHT DASHBOARD​

The report page has been redesigned into a Security Center:

• Real-Time Threat Counter: A prominent red indicator shows exactly how many malicious requests were blocked today.
• Health Score (A/B/C): An immediate grade based on the ratio between real humans and aggressive bots.
• Visual Badges: New tags (AI, BAD, UNK) make it easy to spot threats in seconds.
• Active Shields Status: See immediately which protections are engaged.
• Scrollable Bot Lists: Keep your data clean and readable even with hundreds of tracked bots.
