I can see on Google Analytics that there’s a computer from Warsaw (Poland) acessing my website dozens of times per day (600 times in the last 7 days). I’m from Brazil and it’s not normal to see this acess.
How can I block it? I don’t know what else they can do. It’s also consumig my quote.
@brunomioto Do you have any kind of custom uptime monitoring set up on your site?
600 times over 7 days would be approximately once every 15 minutes which is a fairly frequent uptime monitoring duration.

I didn’t setup anything. Just saw it on my Google analytics reports.
@brunomioto That’s fine, I was just checking.
The graph you have pretty clearly indicates it spiked too, not a steady rhythm of requests.
I believe the current recommendation from Netlify is that you use Edge Functions to block traffic, see:
Hi there, thanks for reaching out! Once thing you could consider is utilizing an Edge Function to block traffic from unwanted user agents or countries. You can see some examples of Edge Functions here to get an idea of how to create one: https://edge-functions-examples.netlify.app/
I hope this helps!
That site is not hosted on Netlify (unless you moved it in the past 6 days).
