The better solution to blocking entire continents is probably doing nothing.
For DDoS resistance... Well I can imagine a world where a tech in the same area as IPFS or freenet gives backup access to websites that are overloaded.

- lstodd 5mo agoYou can use CF and lose relevance. Or even go beyond that and outright geoip-block . Ofc it's your choice. For some reason there are many small sites I have no problem visiting and then there are those CF users which may or may not work at any given moment, forcing me to ignore them. Well, good luck. You are cutting yourself from the internet, not cutting me off.

- sethops1 5mo ago> tech in the same area as IPFS or freenet Are we getting that before or after personal jet packs, flying cars, and my tacos delivered via tacocopters? I'll protect my sites with Cloudflare until then, thanks.
