# Referrer Blocker
## A Plugin for GetSimple CMS that blocks common referral spam sites.
### About Referrer Blocker
Referrer Blocker is a plugin that inspects the referrer of a website visitor, and checks it against a
list of referrers that are known to be spammy and/or malicious, it will return a 404 not found error if
the client's referrer matches any in the list.
The list of referrers is initally empty, but you can fetch a good list by clicking the "Fetch List" button
in the top right of the plugins setting page, this list is fetched from ```https://raw.githubusercontent.com/piwik/referrer-spam-blacklist/master/spammers.txt```
All credit for the list goes towards their contributors.
