    There are ip lists that let you iptables drop all traffic from China and Russia.

    Strongly recommend.

      I was auto banning all countries but my own but now I’m hosting one resource that has an audience including Chinese…

      Good advice outside of this use case! :)

        Yeah, there were other countries to ban, but those 2 cut my attacks down 90%.

        Also consider a honeypot that triggers when anyone tries to ssh it at all.

      My UDM has this capability. I’ve blocked quite a few countries that it logged as trying to get into my network.

        Have the rack mounted one, I usually roll my own router but I’m glad to have someone else making sure I don’t do anything stupid for security.

        It’s not perfect, but it’s peace of mind.
