Occasionally you may need to block particular third parties from accessing your sites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and generate fake visits and online traffic. There are also spammers that leave links to suspicious websites as comments to site articles. Such things may greatly undermine your projects, as nobody likes to visit an Internet site with many hundreds of fake comments, furthermore the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the server on which your site is hosted, that can result in the site not functioning properly. Among the most effective solutions in such a case is to block the IPs that create the fake traffic, as a way to be sure that the visits to your website are authentic.
