Works just fine, but I was really lucky that they weren‘t any big migrations. I guess isn‘t really as feasible anymore.

I haven‘t had a single person complain yet. Their UA are usually the most random ones you can find (who uses a PPC mac nowadays?)

I started with „just“ blocking their ASNs, but they always came back with another one until I just decided to stop bothering and banned China entirely. I‘m confused on why some chinese ISPs have so many different ASNs - while most major internet providers here have exactly one.
