"Does IP Blocking Actually Work Against DDoS and Spam?"
Alright, so here’s the deal—ip blocking is like that bouncer at the club who *thinks* he’s got everything under control. Sure, it stops some script kiddies and basic bots, but let’s be real... determined attackers? They’ll just switch IPs or use proxies.
DDoS? Meh. IP blocking might slow ‘em down, but it’s not a silver bullet. Spam? A *bit* better, but spammers rotate IPs like socks.
Best combo? Layer ip blocking with rate limiting, CAPTCHAs, and maybe a WAF. Otherwise, you’re just playing whack-a-mole.
What’s your take? Am I being too harsh, or is ip blocking kinda overrated?
(Also, typos? Yeah, deal with it. My keyboard’s rebellious today.)
