123FormBuilder Web Form Security: Captcha, IP limitation, and more

You can protect your forms in various ways using our form builder: through Captcha images, IP blocking, country filter, or even password protection. No matter where you choose to publish your online form, we offer you a variety of options to secure it from external threats. Limit your submissions by IP or country or add a password to your form to keep spammers at a distance. To make sure that no robots will submit your form, add a verification number (Smart Captcha).

Go to the Security tab, on the left, to set the security measures you want for your web form. It’s simple as that!

  1. How can I block SPECIFIC IP addresses? (I don’t want to limit submissions from everyone, just IP addresses that are known problems.)

    1. I am afraid that we can not block specific IP addresses. If you know their email addresses you can limit their submission based on that. More details you can find here

  4. I am a gold member. Your info page says the forms are protected with the HTTPS when on the form. I don’t see it. How can I get that so my members will feel more comfortable. I am using the captcha for all forms?
    It took a little while to learn the specifics, but I LOVE your forms and how they work!!!! Good job guys. John

    1. Hello John!

      In order to protect your web forms with HTTPS, you’ll need to enable the SSL encryption at Connection Type in the Publish section. But this works only for Platinum plans and above. If you want to protect your web forms through Secured Socket Layers, you’ll need to upgrade your account.

      However, if your web forms are embedded on a webpage, it all depends on the security measures you have established for the respective webpage/website. In that case, as a Gold member, you can embed your web forms on a webpage with HTTPS you own.

      Have a look at our Features Matrix and see what each plan has to offer.

      Thanks for your kind words!
