Hi folks. Just published my second app. I put it on an [admin.clientname.com](http://admin.clientname.com) subdomain, and I’m getting quite a few scam access requests since doing so. Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this? I’ve changed the subdomain now to see if that helps.

I wonder if you can block IPs from your domain, I assume yes?

Maybe if you can open your app to partially public with a completely public tap, you can log the IPs that are logged into your app and try to click a “Sign In” button. That’s the only way I can think of.

I experienced the same situation. What are the ways to protect yourself from this type of spam?

Hi - just to let you know, I changed the admin subdomain to a less obvious subdomain, and the spammy requests stopped straight away. I’ve not had one since. Sorted!
