Day: January 20, 2014

I didn’t want to do it, I didn’t want to block an entire country from my sites. But I really felt like a had no choice.

My web site(s) were being attacked almost constantly. I decided that I no longer wanted to maintain an endless list of individually denied ip addresses. 

After 1500 it’s just too much to manage especially when you have to keep adding addresses.

I hated to lock out those folks who might actually enjoy my content, there simply wasn’t any other way to deal with the situation. 

How do you tell the good from the bad? The attackers, or bandwidth stealers from the guy in Moscow who reads and gets a laugh from stuff I say?

China is another country that is almost always hammering on my sites. 

They’re about to suffer the same fate as The Russian Federation.

Now I’m off to write some other stuff, perhaps a short story.

It’s one of those days for me, Squirrel!
