IP Blocking
Discover more about IP blocking, what it means and just how and when it’s best to utilize it.
One of the most effective approaches to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of individuals which should not be able to open it. There are many reasons why you should do this. For instance, you may want a specific individual not to be able to see your website, or you may restrict the access for a whole nation. You may also block IP addresses if you notice that there are way too many Internet browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left on your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In any of these scenarios, the traffic is most likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any questionable IP address, so as to be on the safe side. Thus, you shall also avoid the chance of your web server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.
