Many attacks originate from China and countries alike. My website has no intended audience whatsoever in such a country and I would like to ban all IP traffic from a certain country. Adding countries to /etc/hosts.deny will only block a small part of that traffic since most connections are based on IP address only, not on domain names.

As a next step it would be very welcome to provide instructions how to block all IP traffic from a certain countries using GeoIP.
