It is perfectly normal that, when you host a server, you desire that the users of it would speak your language.
So, if you do not want any other country but YOUR country to have access, you should have the option to do so.
This is happening more and more with localized sites. If you do not have intenational objectives with your site (a local company), why would you allow access from distant countries?
SPECIALLY, cerftain number of countries from where 95% of the attacks come from?
Today is very normal to have those ".httaccess" restrictions in a vast number of sites, since everyone is really FEDUP of getting attacks from RUSSIA, CHINA, HONG KONG, etc...
But, the most important is: I MUST HAVE the freedom to chose who will connect to my server. I am the one paying for it. I'm the one having headches with this. So why woudn't I have the right to chose?
Do you want your site/game-server to be invaded/DDOSED to hell by chinese and Russian hackers? Go ahead! Its your choice! But do not ask me to go in the same ROAD. I will allow access only to whoever I want.
This is Freedom. And if Facepunch does not implement it, I'll do it myself.
BTW, my server is now running for hours like a champ!

what's your server name/info?
