IP Blocking
Discover more about IP blocking, precisely what it indicates and just how and when it’s best to utilize it.
In case you notice a significant increase in the online traffic to your site and in case after you examine the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from areas across the world or from other web servers, your Internet site is most likely being attacked by an automatic bot. These pieces of software go through random websites trying to log in to their administration area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments underneath any article where such an option is provided. The fact is that, that is something relatively common nowadays, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you'll be able to block them, so the bots won't be able to access your Internet site in any way. Obviously, you'll be able to block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your Internet site.
