Chinese / Korean IPs any reason not to block?
 

I'm getting hammered by Chinese and Korean IPs as we speak...

I'm having pretty much all of China / Korea blocked right now...

Any reason not to block this traffic?

How are you blocking it? Hopefully not by denying 202.*.*.*, 210.*.*.* etc...

At the firewall. :thumbsup

We have clients request this all the time, and for the most part it is for the best.

Who else do you block?

Africa / part of S. America?

Trying to get a list past China and Korea right now... basically throwing away 20mbps of bw a day on these guys...

Singapore and Malaysia are other ones that get requested quite a bit. We have not had any requests for Africa or S. America but thats not to say one of our clients haven't done it on their own.

Not bad ideas, thanks :)

Would be nice if sponsors gave a list of blacklisted countries :)

heard from a few people just to block the traffic.. but only talking about chinese

Yep, but WHAT are you blocking? A small list of huge ranges or a huge list of small ranges?

all traffic is worth something to someone

A small list of huge ranges:

South Korea is one of the richest countries. :2 cents:

I will gladly take your South Korean traffic. :pimp

Set up Global Acces and send that traffic to them to bill by phone. If you already have traffic from there, you may as well convert it, and Global Acces guarantees payment the Monday after the sale, so there is no risk. Give em a day access for a few bucks and watch that change start rolling in.

Moving servers this week, I'll test out maybe China first and see what happens after that...

You see sales from S. Korea? I wonder if this list is N. Korea :warning

If not thanks for the heads up :thumbsup

Korea seems to be more for spam email...

Maybe I'll just do these:

Before we had China and Korea blocked, we would get huge brute force attacks. They would last 24 hours before starting all over again.
My man would joke that it must be the People's Liberation Army
They just needed to see me suck cock really, really badly. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

God forbid those guys trip, it could lead to the Domino Theory and all of Asia would fall to a communist bayonet.

I redirect them using http://www.maxmind.com/app/mod_geoip

sell that traffic, someone need even that for alexa or somethjing

We accept S. Korea, Hong Kong , Taiwan, Singapore and Japan

Some webmasters here are redirecting that traffic to our cam site http://sakuralive.com .

Its GEO'd for the language also. It converts and we pay.

If you're interested let me know. :thumbsup

I would unblock it ASAP if I were you. You're going against the GFY rule #6.

And you can find us at: http://www.global-acces.com/ :thumbsup

Our Asian sites make good sales from China and SE Asia. you can forget Korea, they never buy anything!
A lot of expat are in Asia and wants to join Adult site.
You should not ban China or SE Asia countries or at least send them to another program that accepts theses countries
