How Do I Block an IP Address to Stop Unwanted Traffic? or What’s the Best Way to Block an IP Address

Blocking IPs is solid, but it’s kinda like playing whack-a-mole. You block one, another pops up.

For a more permanent fix, look into setting up a firewall rule to block entire *ranges* of IPs if they’re from the same sketchy subnet. Tools like [IPBan](https://ipban.com/) can automate this for you.

And yeah, blocking should stop all traffic—unless they’re using a VPN, then it’s back to square one.
