 * Yes, but hackers and spammers usually have large ranges of IP addresses that 
   they use. So if you are going to try that then you should block by CIDR IP address
   ranges => [https://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/htaccess-block-ip-address-range-cidr-ip-address-range/#post-8145](https://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/htaccess-block-ip-address-range-cidr-ip-address-range/#post-8145)
 * It’s more effective to block “bad actions” vs IP addresses.
