One of the most efficient ways to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the individuals that must not be able to open it. There are various reasons to do that. For example, you may want a particular individual not to be able to see your site, or you could restrict the access for an entire nation. You may also block IP addresses in case you notice that there are way too many browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left on your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In each of these cases, the traffic is most likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, in order to be on the safe side. Thus, you shall also steer clear of the prospect of your server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.
