Getting Started

VisitorFilters is a real-time visitor security platform that monitors, analyzes, and blocks malicious traffic to your websites. This guide will walk you through the initial setup process.

How It Works

Install the Script — Add a lightweight JavaScript snippet to your website.
Configure Rules — Define which visitors to allow, challenge, or block.
Monitor & Act — View real-time analytics and automated enforcement.

Quick Start

1. Create an Account

Register at https://visitorfilters.com/register and complete email verification. You'll start with a free trial that includes all features.

2. Add Your First Site

After logging in, navigate to Sites → Add Site. Enter your primary domain (e.g., example.com). You'll receive a unique Site ID.

3. Verify Domain Ownership

Add the provided DNS TXT record or meta tag to verify you control the domain. Verification typically takes a few minutes.

4. Install the Collector

Copy the integration script and add it to your website's <head> section. See the Script Integration guide for details.

5. Create Your First Rule

Go to Rules → Create Rule to set up your first protection rule. Start with a geo-block or rate limiter. See the Rules guide.

Key Concepts

Tenant: Your organization account. All team members and sites belong to a tenant.
Site: A domain you protect with VisitorFilters. Each site has its own rules and analytics.
Rule: A condition + action pair. When a visitor matches a condition, the action is applied (allow, block, challenge, redirect).
Event: A single visitor interaction recorded by the collector script.
