Might be worth considering....otherwise, you just have to consider it the "cost of doing business" in the Internet age imo. Ain't gonna change, that's for sure. Good luck!
Yeah, we're blocking country-specific IPs. The bulk of my biz is US-based, so that is doable. But, can't they just use a VPN to emulate a US-based IP?
