One of the most reliable approaches to limit the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of individuals that shouldn't be able to open it. There are various good reasons to do this. For instance, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you could limit the access for an entire country. You could also block IP addresses in case you detect that there are too many web browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left within your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In each of these scenarios, the traffic is most probably fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any shady IP address, to be on the safe side. Thus, you shall also stay away from the prospect of your web server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.
