Set up a honeypot, or more like a booby trap, and boldly ban all IPs that access it. Then you can consider banning OVH, DO, AWS, GCP, Oracle, China, Russia.

- neilv 2y agoHoneypot is a good idea, but not for my immediate little one-server Web site startup. On blocking country address ranges, my idealist side hopes that doesn't prove necessary. I personally know nice people in both of those countries.
- Avamander 2y agoIt's just an inevitability due to poor abuse handling (or lack thereof) in those countries. Some people might be nice but it's a minuscule part of the absolute flood of malicious traffic originating from those countries. If people in those countries do not like such treatment, I'm so sorry, but they should force their ISPs to clean up their act. It's insane.
