Feature Request: Block specific countries IP blocks

For example, 80%+ of the global hacking attempts come from china so I'd like to block by default all their IPs. Most reputable companies based out of china also have European or US websites for exactly this reason to get around blanket bans, so we can still get to them. 

I notice a lot of Malicious traffic coming from Chinese IP addreses (mostly port scans) as well as Brazilian and Russian.

This really is an important feature for any security device.

  Top-5 countries where cyber attacks originate (global attack traffic is generated) are today:

  1. China
  2. United States
  3. Turkey
  4. Brazil
  5. Russia

  Most people might not want to blanket block the United States, but maybe the others, or?

  Are there any plans to add geo location blocking? I personally would like to see this ability on inbound and outbound traffic.

  The base code is almost there, our main issue is with the performance of this feature,  which is giving us a bit of a headache.  So likely the version will work with the blue initially.   The UI remain to be done as well;

  I thought the Geo Block is "Outbound"... so this does not address -> cyber attacks originate (global inbound attack traffic) - right?

  Geoblock is inbount (someone trying to mess with you), and outbound (something want to transfer out)
