Once in a while you might need to block specific third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a lot of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and generate fake visits and website traffic. There's also spammers that leave links to suspicious sites as comments to blog articles. Such things can greatly undermine your projects, because no one likes to visit a website with many hundreds of fake comments, not to mention that the increased traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the web server in which your website is hosted, that could result in the site not functioning properly. Among the most effective solutions in cases like this is to block the IPs which generate the fake traffic, so as to make sure that the visits to your website are authentic.
