    If I block somebody I don't have in my contacts, will this person know that I entered his/her profile?

    No. After you block someone, you will disappear from the "Who's Viewed Your Profile" section of the person you blocked.

  • Question
    I tried to block someone and was told that they couldn't be blocked. Are there types of profiles that are immune to being blocked?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Many employers or managers cannot be blocked. If the problem is serious, try to contact LinkedIn to see how to resolve the issue.
