This specific issue is going to be solved by IPv6 though.

  In 50 years when half the internet users will finally have access to IPv6. Or, I'm pretty sure some people, or Cloudflare, will start banning entire /32 or even bigger subnets because why not. Oh you're from Russia? Here, have a 403 for no apparent reason.

    Considering the current adoption rates, I'm eyeballing 5 years : https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

      It may be important to tease out the mobile operators and VPS providers like AWS/Azure/GCP first. They have skewed the numbers a bit. Almost all VPS providers and cell providers are IPv6 now. Residential is hit-or-miss. Maybe that will change as more people use Starlink and other newer tech.

        Yeah, in no small part because cellular operators tend to be newer than landline ISPs...
