Firewall - Blocked Countries

DracoBlue

Hi,
I have a question regarding firewall configuration - do you block access from specific countries on your server?
If you’re running a server in Central Europe, which countries do you block?

Here’s my current list:

Brazil
China
India
Iran
North Korea
Nigeria
Russia
Ukraine
Vietnam

Interestingly, after applying these blocks, my RAM usage dropped from around 50% to 32%, which was quite a shock to me.

DracoBlue Your list + Netherlands and Poland and any country that is near Russia

wav3front

you're using cloudflare for that?

DracoBlue

wav3front No, only one site uses CloudFlare.

NetPeople

Almost the same but also Singapore, we use cpfence for it on all servers

NetPeople I’m currently using cpguard and I’m satisfied.

JohnB I’m from Poland 🙂 and most of the sites are for the Polish market, so Poland is out 😃 and I haven’t really noticed many attacks from Dutch IPs either.
