Once in a while you may need to block certain third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and site traffic. In addition, there are spammers that leave links to shady sites as comments to website articles. This kind of things may considerably undermine your work, simply because nobody likes to visit an Internet site with tons of fake comments, furthermore the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the server in which your Internet site is hosted, which can result in your site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IP addresses that produce the fake traffic, in order to make sure that the visits to your site are authentic.
