Every now and then you may have to block particular third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and online traffic. There are spammers that leave links to questionable Internet sites as comments to blog articles. Such things could drastically undermine your work, since nobody likes to visit a website with tons of fake comments, also the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the server where your site is hosted, that could result in the site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in such cases is to block the IPs which generate the fake traffic, as a way to make certain that the visits to your site are authentic.

No coding abilities are necessary, due to the fact that you will use an intuitive interface - you just need to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP address you want to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added inside the same section and whitelisting any of them will take only a click. If you notice your site is being flooded by different IPs, you shall be able to block an entire IP range as well. This may be done by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you would like to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you only need to input 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
