From time to time you might need to block specific third parties from accessing your websites. There are a lot of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and generate fake visits and website traffic. There are also spammers that leave links to shady Internet sites as comments to website articles. This sort of things could greatly undermine your hard work, simply because no one likes to visit a site with countless fake comments, also the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the server on which your website is hosted, which can result in your site not working properly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IP addresses which generate the fake traffic, in order to ensure that the visits to your website are legitimate.
