How Effective Is IP Blocking at Stopping Unwanted Traffic? or Can IP Blocking Really Protect Your Web

Yeah, ip blocking is hit or miss.

For forums, I’ve had luck with requiring phone verification for new accounts. Trolls hate giving up their numbers.

Also, tools like Sucuri can help block malicious IPs before they even hit your site.

But honestly, if someone’s determined, they’ll get in. Just gotta make it annoying enough that they give up.
