    I apologies if I am posting in the wrong location. I am getting a lot
    of login attempts from China and other Asian countries.

    Like I said, I hate to have to go to this extreme, but it's getting bad. Huawei Public Cloud Service is the worst one so fare.

    I invite callers from all countries - any reason to block them??? Are they bots or actual users??

    I only put a block on China. It was bots that was taking up all my nodes 24/7.
    If I was able to narrow it down to a few ISPs, I would have just done that, but it was all over.

    Once I put the China block in place, about 95% of the bot traffic stopped.

    Bots. For me, the biggest offenders are China Mobile, Chinanet (the
    biggest!), Digital Ocean, Alibaba (China, Singapore, Malaysia),
    HINET-Taiwan, CNC Group China, Korea Telecom, China Unicom, and Panchenko - Russia. All of those have multiple ranges blocked in my ip-silent.can
    file, and just about all of them are in there for bot activity -- using a
    whole lot of known IOT username and password combos to try to create more
    bots.
