One of the most reliable approaches to limit the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the people that must not be able to open it. There are numerous good reasons to do this. For instance, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you could limit the access for an entire country. You can also block IP addresses if you discover that there are too many browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left on your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In all of these cases, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any shady IP address, to be on the safe side. In this way, you shall also steer clear of the possibility of your hosting server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

You can block entire IP ranges through the tool as well - you just have to leave 1 or 2 octets from the address blank. For instance, entering 1.2.3. will block all 254 IPs from 1.2.3.1 to 1.2.3.255.
