Do you have a guide that you used for this? Thanks.

- windows firewall
- add inbound rule for the game
- block chinese ip range
- no chinese can connect without vpn

So basically Chinese IP addresses have a lot of ranges? Because there is quite a lot when looking up.

I got banned from these forums for doing that same exact thing of making a title and saying title says it all. You may want to rework this.

Why do you want to block Chinese players from playing with you? I rolled with a Chinese dude who absolutely mopped up every last bot on the map. 10/10 would dive again.

I also played with a bunch of Ukrainians that called me "THE AMERICAN" the entire time and I think by the end of the match I got adopted. 10/10 experience.

Chinese players are notorious for being hackheads.

Yes. Its very tiresome to add all of them. You might be better off whitelisting countries instead of blacklist

Dang so it is indeed a tedious process if I really want to do all that. But I think it's kind of understandable though.

Just note that many of them, especially the younger ones, will be playing over VPN to get around gaming service access limits imposed by Father CCCP.

You must understand that IP addresses are generally not fixed for domestic internet...they change all the time as companies buy/sell/renew them periodically so your big brain range ban won't actually work for very long.

He probably mopped them up because he was using cheats that's usualy the reason people want to block China they do have a well deserved reputation.

You can block most USA based IPs by dunking the double digit ips from 30....-68.255.255.255. Although probably won't be as many home-users in that range today as back when.

Basically, you can usually find the ISPs ranges and block those. But it's not really possible to block countries by IP-ranges. The ISPs will have a lot of ranges that will be dynamic, change every now and then, and won't necessarily resolve to your home router. ISPs use "lost" ranges, vpns turn up in the old ones, etc. So you might be blocking the opposite of what you intended. ..Verizon has 63.0..., and also 192..., 132..., and 198...-ranges. And those used to be in other ownership. Similar things happen the other way. So blocking ip-ranges to generally might add ISP-pools from several different other countries.

Still - should be possible to create a genuine list of most major USA ISPs this way, yes.

edit: right, yes. So what you should do is to only whitelist the USA IPs. And your problems is (supposedly) solved.

Then they'd just use a VPN to get around IP blocks, like I'm sure most of them are already doing to try to get around their own governments data mining.
