Sometimes spam or hacking attacks get out of hand.
If you are tired of seeing Chinese or Russian bots trying to get through your server, there is an option to block entire countries.
Country IP Blocks allows you to search for IPs, or select multiple countries’ IP ranges, which you can then copy/paste into your server’s firewall or blocking configuration.
According to Country IP Blocks:
“Country IP Blocks now offers Network Data in 7 Distinct Formats: CIDR, Netmask, .htaccess deny, .htaccess allow, IP Range, Decimal/CIDR* and Hexadecimal/CIDR. You decide who can access your websites and servers. Block a country, allow a country. Now you can take complete control of your website and network traffic. IP Blocks are a simple and effective way to improve security by limiting spammers, hackers, bandwidth wasters or malicious traffic.“
