I'm just curious, what if I'd use my pi-hole to block all connections from/to China on my home network. I have a good bit of automation in place, but mostly western solutions, yet still I wouldn't be surprised if they called China. Have any of you tried this kind of experiment? Is it even possible to block? What gone down?

pretty much, yeah. I'm from Vietnam and I'd gladly give all my data to Facebook, Google, ALL of the alphabet agencies, but the Chinese and Vietnamese government can try to pry it off my cold dead hands.

Had this conversation with a coworker the other day. It's incredible to me that so many engineers just follow the standard "China bad, Russia Bad" blocklists, as if hosted servers don't exist and nothing in USA can be bad lol
