One of the most effective approaches to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the individuals that must not be able to open it. There are numerous good reasons to do that. For instance, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your website, or you could limit the access for an entire nation. You can even block IP addresses in case you discover that there are too many browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left on your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In all of these scenarios, the traffic is most likely fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any shady IP address, so as to be on the safe side. That way, you'll also steer clear of the prospect of your web server getting overloaded by many fake requests.
