"Does IP Blocking Actually Work Against Persistent Hackers?"
Hey folks, been dealing with some sketchy traffic lately and wondering if ip blocking is worth the effort. Like, sure, it stops the low-hanging fruit—script kiddies and bots—but what about the determined ones?
I’ve seen hackers just switch VPNs or proxies and boom, they’re back. So is ip blocking just a temporary fix? Or am I missing something?
Also, how do you even keep up? Manually updating blocklists feels like whack-a-mole. Are there better tools or automations y’all use?
Kinda curious if anyone’s had success with ip blocking against *really* persistent attackers. Or is it just a speed bump for them?
Thanks in advance for any tips or war stories!
