Thank you so much for the tip, I'll look at doing this. FWIW though I have almost no traffic to these boxes, so I've never noticed any sort of performance issues.

I like to SSH in from all over the place, and so a default deny iptables policy would be a disaster for me. After some research, I went ahead and blocked all of China and Korea usi…
