One of the most productive methods to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the people which mustn't be able to open it. There are several good reasons to do this. As an example, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your site, or you may limit the access for a whole nation. You could also block IP addresses in case you discover that there are lots of web browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left in your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In each of these cases, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any shady IP address, to be on the safe side. That way, you'll also steer clear of the possibility of your server getting overloaded by many fake requests.
