IP blocking is def a basic layer, but yeah, persistent hackers will just hop on a VPN or proxy. It’s like playing cat and mouse.
That said, it’s not *useless*—it slows them down and filters out the lazy ones.
For automation, check out Fail2Ban or CrowdSec. They auto-update blocklists based on suspicious activity. Saves you from manual whack-a-mole.
Also, consider rate limiting + geo-blocking if you’re getting hits from sketchy regions.
