I would add Turkey to that list. Many many years ago I had a kind of popular podcast about computer graphics and all of my grief was coming from Turkey. After I banned all of Turkey‘s IPs my drama was over. Occasionally I would get an email from someone saying they couldn’t listen to the episodes and I would explain to them why their country is blocked and they would say it’s not fair, I couldn’t disagree, its not fair but such is life.

I'm curious what kind of grief a country caused you for a podcast. What were they doing?

  Constantly trying to get to the backend of the site and occasional ddos. Once one of them managed to deface the front page I had enough and just banned all of Turkey.

    What were they upset about? "Computer graphics" doesn't sound like a controversial topic.

      I think they just wanted to deface the site for hacker cred. This was a long time ago.

I would remove Turkey from that list. Because, Turks are turks and they should have their own category. Also, Why would turks specifically target a computer graphics podcast ? I don't think it makes sense at all...

  I don’t know but when I blocked Turkey all the script kiddy attacks stopped. Honestly I don’t care about turkey, I just wanted the attacks to stop.

Fair is not the right word. Your house, your rules.
