 * Hi guys,
 * I’d like to prevent a specific person from viewing my website.
    Does the Ban 
   host/Ban agent function block the given IP from logging in, or from totally viewing
   the contents of my website?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Robin,
 * and girls … 😉 (Not me by the way …)
 * It totally and permanently blocks the IP\User Agent from viewing your website
   using .htaccess on the Web Server level. Exactly what you want.
