One of the most productive methods to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the people which must not be able to open it. There are several reasons why you should do this. As an example, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may limit the access for a whole state. You may also block IP addresses if you detect that there are too many 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 a large number of times. In all of these cases, the traffic is most likely fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, in order to be on the safe side. In this way, you shall also avoid the prospect of your web server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.
