Bitcoin node operators may run these commands to block a suspected surveillance service:
bitcoin-cli setban 162.218.65.0/24 add 315360000
bitcoin-cli setban 209.222.240.0/24 add 315360000
bitcoin-cli setban 91.198.115.0/24 add 315360000
bitcoin-cli setban 2604:d500:4:1::/64 add 315360000
is it permanent or should i do on every startup? which exactly surveillance services are these?
Could you explain more what you mean by surveillance services?
Thank you for this post. I have had a full node via clearnet for nearly three years. As of last weekend I am switching to @start9 x86 and I've been rsynching my raspberry full node to my new x86.
I understood about 50 percent of what you wrote so that's that but I'm glad you've take the time to put things together..
Why?
IPs are cheap especially for a nation state. We need something more generalized that detects malicious behavior.
They use a pretty old version?

“In total, 118 different user agents are used. Nearly all of these appear in version messages with the same frequency, which indicates that the user agents are picked from a list and are likely fake”
