Blocking by foreign IP Address, Pro’s and Cons?
The company I work for is an Ultities Provider for a city, and we have a public facing website. Recently our Security Team asked us to block all ip addresses from Russia, China, and North Korea. We obviously have a few concerns about blocking entire countries when a VPN can bypass all of this easily. So as far as the process goes what concerns should we voice before we enact this policy on our firewall? I’m looking for people to weigh in on the pro’s and con’s in doing this, since we serve only US customers (But some people might be traveling overseas and need to pay their bill)
