We block China and Russia. DDOS attacks and other hack attempts went down by 95%.

We have no chinese users/customers so in theory this does not effect business at all. Also russia is sanctioned and our russian userbase does not actually live in russia, so blocking russia did not effect users at all.

Which will ensure you never get customers from those countries. And so the circle closes ...

I used to run a forum that blocked IPs from outside Western Europe. I had no interest in users from beyond. It's not all about money.
