One of the most reliable ways to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of individuals which mustn't be able to open it. There are various reasons to do that. For example, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may limit the access for an entire nation. You may also block IP addresses in case you notice that there are lots of Internet browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left within your sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In any of these situations, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any suspicious IP address, to be on the safe side. This way, you will also steer clear of the prospect of your web server getting overloaded by many fake requests.
