One of the most reliable approaches to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the individuals that shouldn't be able to open it. There are numerous reasons why you should do that. As an example, you may want a specific person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you could limit the access for a whole nation. You may also block IP addresses in case you detect that there are lots of 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 many times. In any of these cases, the traffic is most likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any suspicious IP address, in order to be on the safe side. In this way, you will also stay away from the prospect of your server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.
