<p>> It's not effective because all you're doing is banning foreign VPNs so it is trivial to just pick a US server.<p>It's incredibly effective at keeping the trash script kiddies out, which is why companies and governments and people do it. It's also part of zerotrust networking, limiting access only from places that need it and when.</p>

<p>I've seen network operators talk about it from all over the world.<p>If Sarah owns a gardening center and sells stuff locally, why does her business need to accept connections to her website or network from a foreign country? For her given the attack risk, it makes much more sense to block non-local traffic.</p>
