Absolutely; if I was a company, or hosting something important, or something that was intended for the general public, then I'd agree.

But I'm just an idiot hosting whimsical stuff from my basement, and 99% of it is only of interest for my friends. I know ~everyone in my target audience, and I know that none of them use a VPN for general-purpose browsing.

As it is, I don't mind keeping the door open to the general public, but nothing of value will be lost if I need to pull the plug on some more ASN's to preserve my bandwidth. For example when a guy hopping through a VPN in Sweden decides to download the same zip file thousands of times, wasting terabytes of traffic over a few hours (this happened a week ago).

and filtering malicious traffic is more important to me than you visiting my services, so I guess that makes us even :-)

I've started blocking entire AS from my servers; since I only expect/want traffic from home ISPs it's kinda alright, but still... man

HFSv2 (the windows exe) has publically known unfixed vulnerabilities! Please upgrade to HFSv3 (nodejs, crossplatform). I'm also maintaining a list of other alternatives; https://github.com/9001/copyparty/blob/hovudstraum/docs/versus.md
