I am trying to stick to IPs that are actually being abusive

Useless as most IPs you see coming out of China are using IP pools or some fast flux nonsense or something equally as hard to stop so instead of playing whack-a-mole one IP at a time, which would result in a much bigger list in short time, I just blocked the country and never looked back.

They're the source of the bulk of my scrapers, spam and server attacks so I should've dropped them in the firewall itself but I only blocked them in HTACCESS and in my mail gateway so I could block them yet still monitor their activity.

Kind of like putting up a fence to keep the neighbor kids out of the yard but sitting on the lawn to watch them play.
