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?

I created a rule on my untangle to block all “axis of evil” countries.

Works great.

Keep an eye on IOT devices miss-behaving once blocked from calling home
