Of course there are other ways to enter a house.
My guess is that this would stop the first push, but repeated pushes are likely to shear off the screws in a metal door or strip them out of a wooden door. This door stop is designed to keep a normally closed door in the open position.

I use a metal pole with a rubber foot that wedges up under the door handle. This is simply a deterrent.
