Hey,
For all of you that are running proper setups and use nftables to protect your servers be aware that pvxe/nftables-geoip now has the ability to generate IP lists by country.
This can be used to, for instance, drop all traffic from specific countries or the opposite, drop everything except for your own country.

Here's how you can block / track traffic from certain countries:
