In case you notice a significant increase in the traffic to your website and in case after you look at the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from areas across the globe or from other web servers, your site is more than likely being attacked by an automatic bot. These programs go through random websites seeking to log in to their administrator area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments below any sort of article where this type of an option is made available. The fact is that, this is something rather popular in recent times, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you may block them, so the bots will not be able to access your Internet site in any way. Certainly, you can block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your Internet site.

No coding skills are necessary, because you shall use an intuitive interface - you need to simply pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added within the same section and whitelisting each of them will take simply a click. If you notice your site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you will be able to block a whole IP range too. This can be performed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just have to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
