One of the most reliable approaches to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of those that mustn't be able to open it. There are several reasons to do this. As an illustration, you may want a specific person not to be able to see your website, or you could restrict the access for an entire country. You could also block IP addresses in case you discover that there are way too many Internet browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left within your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In any of these cases, the traffic is most likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any suspicious IP address, so as to be on the safe side. Thus, you will also avoid the possibility of your web server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.
