IP Blocking
Find out about IP blocking, what it really signifies and just how and when it’s best to utilize it.
In case you notice a big increase in the traffic to your website and in case after you check the visitor stats it turns out that it comes from places across the globe or from other web servers, your website is most likely being attacked by an automatic bot. These programs go through random websites trying to log in to their admin area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments under any sort of article where this type of an option is offered. The fact is that, that's something quite common these days, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you could block them, so the bots won't be able to access your site in any way. Certainly, you can block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your Internet site.
