In your website's error logs, you will often see that many visitors are requesting access to things they should not be allowed to see, or even files and folders that do not exist on your site in the first place. This generally indicates that an attacker is trying to find a backdoor to your website, to inject content or to spam you. If you have annoying visitors, site scrapers, or spammers, you may find it useful to block these users from accessing your website content entirely. This can be done manually by editing an .htaccess file, or you can block IPs and domains via the customer control panel in a few simple steps. This article assumes that you are already familiar with how to log in to the customer control panel. If you do not know how to log in or have forgotten your password, please refer to this article first.
