I banned all China and Korea in my gateway :) (not for all ports, only for ssh & ftp).

That's the simple solution, and one that has been argued (on the 'net generally) to be a very blunt tool at that.

What if you have legit users from China and Korea trying to connect to your server(s)? -- /Sorin

You can imagine I'd not banned CN if i knew I had legit users there. So far no complaints from my clients.. and besides, I only blocked ssh and ftp ports.. The chinese can still send me mail and browse my websites. ..Thinking if i should ban them from pop3 and imap as well.
