One of the most efficient methods to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the people that must not be able to open it. There are numerous reasons why you should do this. As an illustration, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may restrict the access for a whole state. You can even block IP addresses in case you notice that there are too many web browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left within your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In each of these scenarios, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, in order to be on the safe side. This way, you will also stay away from the possibility of your web server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.
