This is why I installed ipset on my server and block all of China,
Russia, North Korea and Slavic countries.* This is something that
most all servers should.* It is not like you are going to miss out
on any business from these corrupt, commie countries.

* You need to include all of Africa too.


And all of USA. That's the worst one, but you will not see it in the
logs.

Difficult, as very few use the .us TLD. I guess since (more or less)
the internet was invented/developed in USA, the .com, etc. TLDs
predominate, but I do continue to be surprised that people aren't
_proud_ to use a .us address.


Am I intuiting that you think ipset works on domain names rather than
IP addresses?

Sorry, I hadn't noticed you said you were using ipset (of which I know
nothing). I was thinking of host file and similar filtering.

How would you know which IP addresses are any given country anyway?
