One of the most reliable approaches to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the individuals which mustn't be able to open it. There are several reasons to do this. For example, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can limit the access for a whole state. You could also block IP addresses if you detect that there are lots of browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left within your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In any of these situations, the traffic is most likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any shady IP address, to be on the safe side. That way, you will also steer clear of the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

For an IP range, you just have to omit the last octet or the last two octets of the address based on the size of the network which you want to block. Each of the addresses that you have restricted shall be listed within the exact same section and if you want to whitelist any one of them, you'll be able to do it with a mouse click whenever you want.
