Every now and then you might need to block specific third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and online traffic. In addition, there are spammers who leave links to questionable sites as comments to website articles. This kind of things can considerably undermine your work, because nobody likes to visit a site with countless fake comments, not to mention that the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the web server on which your site is hosted, which could result in your site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in such a case is to block the IP addresses that produce the fake traffic, as a way to be sure that the visits to your site are real.
