You can block visitors so that they can't access the widget and chat with agents. There are two main ways to block a visitor / user:
- Directly from a chat: With this option, the system places a cookie on the visitor's browser to identify him. This method prevents visitors from avoiding the block with proxies or VPNs, but they might still be able to get through it on another browser.
After selecting Block Visitor from the chat, you also have the choice of banning the visitor's IP address at the same time, as described in the steps below.
- Adding the IP address to the Banned Visitors list: This option stops banned visitors from gaining access just through another browser, but it also doesn't prevent them from using a proxy or VPN.
