One of the most efficient methods to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of individuals that mustn't be able to open it. There are various good reasons to do this. As an example, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your website, or you could restrict the access for an entire state. You can even block IP addresses in case you notice that there are lots of Internet browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left in your sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In any of these scenarios, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any shady IP address, so as to be on the safe side. In this way, you shall also avoid the prospect of your server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.
