For example if a ISP assigns IP-adresses out of 123.123.0.0 through 123.123.255.255, you can tell your site to allow 123.123.0.0/16, thus allowing in all customers from that particular ISP - but thats much more secure than allowing the whole world. you can also use country blocks to whitelist only certain countries. That will shrink the attack Surface very much. | |
