Should I Block Vigil?

It's difficult to say without a type. Its purposes could either be good or bad for your website, depending on what it is.

Using Robots.txt

User Agent Token	Description
`Vigil`	Should match instances of Vigil

You can block Vigil or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt.

# robots.txt
# This should block Vigil

User-agent: Vigil
Disallow: /

Instead of doing this manually, you can generate a robots.txt using the API or WordPress plugin that stays up to date with the agent list automatically. The WordPress plugin can also enforce your robots.txt and block agents who try to ignore the rules.
