    I only block Nigeria.

    You can check out blackholes.us for a bunch of lists by country.

    Odd thought they had to be in batches.
    such as: 213.244.208.0/20
    this is from country cs
    Cool thanks i will check out the black hole!
    Blackholes.us is timing out - guess they are busy.
    Zaire is also a problem and Singapore and few other countries.

    There is no "best" way stop of these guys. I subscribe to an IP mapping service http://www.ip2location.com/ to stay up on country and ISP names (i.e., never let a satellite ISP user access your site).

    Add the countries and ISPs you want to ban to your firewall - I use apf which keeps the overhead out of apache.

    You have to combine physical and logical blocking techniques to reduce fraud, bandwidht suckers and email harvesters but at the end of the day there is nothing that is fool proof.
