I just tracked down a few hitting my ssh port with bogus request, and they are all coming from China, Taiwan, or Hong Cong. Most curious.
You could use their databases to restrict access to your machine from a
particular country (US) -- they offer mappings in CSV format for a
nominal fee.
There is a bit of controversy about "dividing up" the Internet on the basis of IP origin. Personally, I have no problems with this if done for purely marketing reasons, but other uses may not be as savory. Some may even question doing that with marketing. What's your opinion on it?
