All credit to Matt Wilcox for this excellent article, for which this post is based – thank you, Matt! https://mattwilcox.net/web-development/unexpected-ddos-blocking-china-with-ipset-and-iptables/ All commands run as root!

yum install -y ipset vi blockchina (see below for contents) chmod 755 blockchina ./blockchina |
Do this once only:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m set --match-set china src -j DROP; service iptables save |
Then add blockchina to the root cron
