To the thread, not necessarily Daniel, if blocking countries\continents is a bad thing (not saying I disagree), how do you deal with the flood of trash? Just take it on the chin?
The degree of splash damage by blocking this way will vary based uponwhat kind of network you are. Residential eyeballs? You could probably block most of a lot of things and people wouldn't notice or care, as long as it wasn't Google, Facebook, Netflix, etc.
In my networks, different users have different requirements. So I have to be careful in my ACLs to allow what they need, while reducing access by those who view the Internet as a sewer, and not as a privilege. (Used to be a BOFH in the NSF days.) So my blocking list has grown, as I have identified bad actors from the information in my logs. Keeping in mind that people with one bad habit will most likely have other bad habits as well, I keep it simple: if you don't play nice, you are blocked at the demarc. For of the majority of my users, I provide access behind a router with the block list shown below. For those customers who want an unblocked feed, I provide that by having the edge bypass the filtering router. (No one has asked yet for custom filters -- 1841s are cheap and easy, and don't take much power.) I don't intend to provide this list for others to use. I provide this list as an example of how I exercise my right of Internet Freedom of Assocation, and keep my own network safe from intruders. Abuse reports? I've given up on them, frankly. My logs don't include enough information for some admins, so they drop my reports without further comment. When there is an admin listed. The nice thing about IPTABLES is that I can pull a report, if I want to, of which of these blocks are still generating traffic. As we go farther down the IPv4-split road, I may just set up a database of the blocks, and monitor the traffic to see which ones have gone silent and thus can be removed. Or not -- that's a lot of work and time, both of which I can direct to activities that bring in revenue.
