From time to time you might need to block particular third parties from accessing your websites. There are plenty of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and create fake visits and website traffic. In addition, there are spammers who leave links to suspicious sites as comments to blog articles. This kind of things may considerably undermine your projects, as nobody likes to visit a website with countless fake comments, plus the increased traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the server on which your Internet site is hosted, that can result in the site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IPs which produce the fake traffic, so as to ensure that the visits to your Internet site are real.
