One of the most efficient approaches to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the individuals which mustn't be able to open it. There are various good reasons to do this. As an example, you may want a particular individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can restrict the access for an entire country. You can also block IP addresses in case you notice that there are way too many web browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left in your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In any of these cases, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any shady IP address, to be on the safe side. In this way, you shall also steer clear of the possibility of your server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.
