Came here to say something similar. The sheer amount of IP addresses one has to block to keep malware and bots at bay is becoming unmanageable.

- immibis 1y agoCan you explain more about blocking malware as opposed to bots?
- ygritte 1y agoNo opposition. Just block the IP address.
- leviathant 1y agoKnowing my audience, I've blocked entire countries to stop the pain. Even that was a bit of whack-a-mole. Blocking China cooled off the traffic for a few days, then it came roaring back via Singapore. Blocked Singapore, had a reprieve for a while, and then it was India, with a vengeance. Cloudflare has been a godsend for protecting my crusty old forum from this malicious, wasteful behavior.
