One of the most efficient approaches to limit the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of those that shouldn't be able to open it. There are many reasons to do this. For example, you may want a particular individual not to be able to see your website, or you may restrict the access for an entire nation. You can also block IP addresses if you discover that there are way too many Internet browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left in your sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In any of these situations, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any shady IP address, so as to be on the safe side. Thus, you'll also steer clear of the chance of your web server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

All the addresses which you have blacklisted shall appear in the same exact section of the CP, so that you can always remove any of them and permit it to access your website again. You'll be able to block whole IP ranges through the tool as well - you simply need to leave 1 or 2 octets from the address blank.
