We solved a lot of our problems by blocking all Chinese ASNs. Admittedly, not the friendliest solution, but there were so many issues originating from Chinese clients that it was easier to just ban the entire country.

It's not like we can capitalize on commerce in China anyway, so I think it's a fairly pragmatic approach.

Lmao I came here to post this. My personal server was making constant hdd grinding noises before I banned the entire nation of China. I only use this server for jellyfin and datahoarding so this was all just logs constantly rolling over from failed ssh auth attempts (PSA: always use public-key, don't allow root, and don't use really obvious usernames like "webadmin" or <literally just the domain>).

I have my jellyfin and obsidian couchdb sync on my Tailscale and they don’t see any public traffic.
