A while ago, I tried to block China. The attack profile lowered a little bit, but I did not feel my network was safer. Looks kind of futile to me. The bots are everywhere, blocking entire countries does not reduce the risk much.

Just the existence of onion routing makes such protection attempts ridiculous overall. That being said, there are ASes which, as rfg frequently reminds us, not worth handling traffic from. But that's just particular ASes, not countries, and sometimes those ASes belong to generally innocent geographic places. -- Töma
