    You can easily make it a ton harder by blocking VPS IPs when serving certain types of content

      If you have issues with IP blocks, get the AWS equivalent of a VPS (Lightsail). It’s expensive compared to other VPS services - $5/month for only 512MB RAM, 20GB disk and 1TB monthly transfer, whereas good deals usually have at least 8GB RAM for that price - but it’s difficult for anyone to block Amazon/AWS IPs because so many services use them :)

        I literally have lightsail (not the equivalent) as well because it doesn’t have issues connecting to SK, but China throttles those addresses nevertheless

        Why, does AWS use a different IP address pool than lightsail?
