Is anyone doing anything about unwanted connection attempts to their powerhome http servers? I have been getting more and more attempts to connect to my server and IP origin all turn out to be China. I would love to block all of China's networks. I have blocked several already. Is there a negative impact of adding a huge list to deny within powerhome? I should do it at my firewall and stop it before it gets inside my network.... Well I was just wondering what other people are doing.
Thanks

You know you can use wildcards in the IP, right?

 Thanks Tony. Yeah did see that and have used it. Easy enough for full class subnets, but can I enter a range?
Example:
58.14.0.0/15
Vaild IP's for this network with a 15bit mask would be
58.14.0.0 - 58.15.255.255
Would I have to enter 58.14.*.*;58.15.*.* to blacklist this network?
I don't see support for mask or ranges. To have to calculate each subnet in the list of China Networks would be crazy amount of work. This is why I was thinking doing it at the firewall would be easier.
