I’m just curious, what if I’d use my pi-hole to block all connections from/to China on my home network. I have a good bit of automation in place, but mostly western solutions, yet still I wouldn’t be surprised if they called China. Have any of you tried this kind of experiment? Is it even possible to block? What gone down?

    I block a handful of countries I just have no business interacting with. In and out. Doesn’t cause any problems. But you know Microsoft and Amazon aren’t checking ID before letting anyone put a server in one of their DCs? TikTok is all hosted on US servers but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a back door or a copy job sending the data off shore. So I go the extra distance to block a huge list of domestic and safe country international domains that I don’t want traffic going to or from.
