Every now and then you may need to block certain third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and site traffic. In addition, there are spammers that leave links to shady websites as comments to blog articles. This kind of things could drastically undermine your projects, because nobody likes to visit a website with tons of fake comments, plus the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the server on which your site is hosted, which could result in your site not functioning properly. Among the most effective solutions in cases like this is to block the IPs that generate the fake traffic, so as to make sure that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.
