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

For a super simple fix, try [PeerBlock](https://www.peerblock.com/). It’s old but still works for blocking ip ranges tied to spam/bots.

And if you’re on Windows, the built-in firewall can block IPs too—just gotta dig into "Advanced Settings" and add a rule.

Pro tip: Keep a list of the IPs you block. If they keep changing, you might need a bigger solution like Cloudflare’s firewall.
