One of the most efficient methods to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of those which must not be able to open it. There are various reasons to do that. As an illustration, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your site, or you may limit the access for an entire country. You can even block IP addresses in case you notice that there are too many Internet browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left within your sites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In all of these cases, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any questionable IP address, in order to be on the safe side. That way, you shall also prevent the prospect of your server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.
