IP Blocking
Discover more about IP blocking, why it could be so advantageous and when to use it.
Once in a while you may need to block specific third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are plenty of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and website traffic. There are spammers who leave links to suspicious websites as comments to blog articles. Such things may drastically undermine your work, since no one likes to visit a website with hundreds of fake comments, also the increased traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the web server in which your website is hosted, that could result in your site not working properly. Among the most effective solutions in this case is to block the IP addresses that generate the fake traffic, as a way to make sure that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.
