        Iptables is a very powerful (and complicated) firewall for Linux (and possibly other systems?). You can block on crazy amount of rules (and even more with some optional modules). Blocking specific sets of IPs is one possible solution, yes.

            The complexity of iptables should not be understated. IMO It should be treated as a firewall if last resort - because there is a very high chance the next person to maintain the system after you will not understand all of your implementation
