If you notice a major increase in the traffic to your site and in case after you look at the visitor stats it turns out that it comes from countries across the globe or from other web servers, your Internet site is probably being attacked by an automatic bot. These programs go through random Internet sites looking to log in to their administrator area through a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments under any sort of article where this sort of an option is provided. Regrettably, that's something quite common these days, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you can block them, so the bots shall not be able to access your Internet site in any way. Of course, you'll be able to block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your site.

In case you want to whitelist an IP at some point, you could unblock it with just a mouse click from the same section.
