Once in a while you may need to block particular third parties from accessing your websites. There are plenty of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and generate fake visits and site traffic. There are spammers that leave links to suspicious websites as comments to site articles. Such things could greatly undermine your projects, because nobody likes to visit a website with tons of fake comments, furthermore the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the web server where your site is hosted, which can result in your site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in such a case is to block the IPs which generate the fake traffic, as a way to make certain that the visits to your Internet site are real.
