alt Hacker News> That said there are some good IP lists that can be used in blackhole routing tables, nginx geo tables, etc...
I focus on content on our site so blocking part of internet with wordfence was brute but as life has only few thousands of weeks, it was the least I wanted to think about :).
Would you mind to share a source of good IP lists pls?
FireHol [1] and lists_vpn [2] are useful for nginx geo files. Be sure to use iprange [3] to aggregate cidr ranges, IP's or lists get big fast The IP ranges can be used in conjunction with rate limiting and/or firewall ipsets and/or blackhole routing tables depending on what type of abuse your site is receiving.
LLM's can help you implement iprange into IP list building scripts to keep the lists smaller and more efficient.
