Hi there,
Unfortunately we couldn’t begin to tell you. The term “urlblock” could mean that it is a way for the actual referrer to hide their tracks so that you don’t really know where the traffic is coming from. There are several companies out there which provide such a service.
Sorry I’m not able to provide any real insights here.

What you mean by, “Unfortunately we couldn’t begin to tell you”?
Does it mean, classified? Which only you guys have the rights to hold the information, or
Does it mean, you guys haven’t found the answer yet? The reason behind this blocking.
Plus…
How come the term ‘block’ and ‘hide related each other?
Even my IT knowledge not as much as you, but I’ve been a technical support guy in the same field for a couple of years. And your answer, doesn’t make sense at all.
I use some kind of personal firewall, ad blocker, anti virus, and some of its kind on my computer to make sure the security level is high. And I love to organize them manually. So, in my humble opinion, I know, where the term ‘block’ and ‘hide’ leads.
As soon as you answer the question, I try to find out who’s the owner of the ip: 66.155.11.238
And based on this link: whatismyipaddress.com/ip/66.155.11.238 – not to mention some others to make sure it’s validity – that ip belongs to wordpress.com itself. Where the number ‘6080’ is TCP/UDP port. CMIIW.
Is the any hacking attempt to my blog, or something like that?
If you guys, can’t tell me openly in this forum, at least, please give me, your WordPress user, any insight via email, personally.
What can I do to prevent this things happen again in the future?
I am willing to learn.
Many thanks for your concern.

I’m sorry that I wasn’t more clear previously.
I meant that I couldn’t begin to tell you because I couldn’t be certain of outside referrers URL structure and what it entails.
This is not truly one of our IPs visiting your site, and is therefore not one of our referrers. I did additional research at your request, and discovered that this referrer is the result of one of a couple things:
It could be that the visitor to your site is on an ISP or behind a firewall that is requiring them to manually acknowledge that they are visiting social media of some sort. The entire process is explained fairly well on this document: https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/docs/DOC-7339
It could also be that the visitor is using a redirecting service which obscures the origin of the link through a similar means as the one listed above (which I mentioned before).
I hope this clears things up for you.

Ah… I got a clearer vision now.
So, that’s (the possibilities of) how it works.Thank you very much for your assistance, amightywp.
Highly appreciate it. -
