One of the most productive approaches to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the individuals that mustn't be able to open it. There are numerous reasons why you should do that. As an illustration, you may want a specific individual not to be able to see your site, or you could limit the access for a whole nation. You may 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 in your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In any of these situations, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any questionable IP address, to be on the safe side. Thus, you'll also stay away from the prospect of your server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.
