Everything about IP address blocking

Access restrictions based on IP address

IP address blocking or IP banning is a configuration of a network service that blocks requests from hosts with certain IP addresses. It is commonly used to protect against brute force attacks and to prevent access by a disruptive address. It can also be used to restrict access to or from a particular geographic area; for example, syndicating content to a specific region through the use of Internet geolocation. Wikipedia →
