Below is my script for creating/updating an ipset to block my top 10
Hope that helps

Thanks, it did, cleared up conflicting info I found on the Internet.


Great.


I also wanted to go the "other way": disallow everything but 2 countries 
(AU,NZ).
There are even more conflicting ideas about how to do this, but I figured it 
out.


How you handle that will depend on the default policy of the chain.

I would use 2 rules - the first to accept connections from AU,NZ, and a second rule subsequently DROPing all other connections, as this will work regardless of the default policy of the chain and the intention of the rules is clear to anyone reading them.


Also I cannot see a difference in speed between using (maxmind)

   -A filter_countries -m geoip --src-cc AU,NZ -j ACCEPT

and (ipdeny)

   -A filter_countries -m set --set au.geoblock src -j ACCEPT

which is really good!


Yes, ipset is really efficient. My top 10 bad countries set above contains over 28,000 individual netblocks and runs on my EdgeRouter Lite, with a 500MHz embedded processor. The device is capable of Gigabit throughput, and I see no impact upon throughput with multiple iptables rules, many based on large ipsets.
