I block entire /8 and /16s from China on my personal sites. They were swamping my bandwidth requesting the same pages or images 1000s of times a day. Start by blocking the tencent and alibaba cloud networks and then work down what other networks are generating the most traffic.

What do you use to do the blocking? Iptables or something else?

  Depends on the box, the cheaper sites I just use Apache deny lists, the beefier boxes have pf/pfsense installed so use that.
