  • IP filtering

    From Rixter@RICKSBBS to All on Tue Jul 23 20:53:37 2024
    I noticed 2 addresses hitting my smtp server over and over so I used it filtering. That stopped them from getting into the smtp server. I have about 10 pages in log showing they are being blocked. Does anyone block any of the Russian or Chinese ips that bombard the web and telnet servers?

    I block those two entire countries, regardless of IP, and many other countries.


    ... As a matter of fact, it IS a banana in my pocket.

    If I notice them, I use ipsets to block them. I don't generally go out
    of my way to because, unless they're actively hacking, they're pretty
    benign.

    If I have an ip that is causing me a lot of trouble, I will add it to the ip-silent.can file. While a lot of them are Russian and Chinese, I also
    have several from Ukraine, Eastern Europe in general, Vietnam, the Koreas,
    and Central/South America.
