    Looks not-so reliable. Either fetches a list of blocks from https://github.com/herrbischoff/country-ip-blocks which is a random GitHub repository that collects "straight from the Regional Internet Registries" without any stating any sources nor method for gathering it (which also, I'm assuming, is self-reported data from those registries), or it fetches it from https://www.ipdeny.com/ which currently runs with an expired TLS certificate, which on top of everything, nft-blackhole ignores any issues with certificates anyways, leaving it wide open to MITM attacks (https://github.com/tomasz-c/nft-blackhole/blob/8a656ac0a803a...)

    I wouldn't run that if I'd want something to reliably block someone from a specific country.

    As sad as it makes me, blocking large parts of the world that you don't expect to connect from via a list of CIDR blocks is an incredibly effective way to secure anything and reduce logspam.

    I personally use nft blackhole [1], which I can recommend for its ease of use.
