Occasionally you might need to block specific third parties from accessing your websites. There are a lot of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and site traffic. In addition, there are spammers that leave links to shady Internet sites as comments to blog articles. This type of things can considerably 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 may create high load on the server in which your website is hosted, which may result in your site not working properly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IPs that generate the fake traffic, in order to make certain that the visits to your site are legitimate.

All blocked IPs will be listed within the same exact section, so you shall be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with only a click.
