Any utility in limiting access of a web app to a country?

Web application has no use outside of US. I'm thinking of getting a firewall rule in place to restrict it to just US access. Couldn't hurt to reduce attack surface I'm thinking, and it doesn't cost me anything [assumption]. Any utility in doing this?

Why ? At least let us have a look at it, and after that, if there is something that is really localized, just block it at that level.

I don't think I can stop people using a proxy, in the special case of a DOS attack they would be limited to a proxy(s) or bots in the country of origin, and the logic of the firewall should also provide coverage. In the case of the "great unwashed" don't need to use it so why provide an access? Reducing attack surface is the goal.

+1 for knowing there is an "outside of the US"! :)

Lemme guess, you're working on a fix for the problem of European countries complaining that the US government has been warehousing and processing information about their citizens. (The one thing the Lounge is missing is its own, internal conspiracy theory.)

Why do you think message previews are sent to the server AJAX-style rather than just doing everything in JavaScript? Whenever somebody posts something he doesn't like, Maunder is notified of the post and

Geocoding baby! :laugh:

:confused: what?
It's a joke mate. (I hate explaining them, almost as much as I hate seeing someone miss-out on a funny one) The inference is that Chris monitors all posts as they are made, NSA style. The posts were deliberately cut-off mid sentence as a way of saying "see, look - Chris even censored this post, he _must_ have the ability to monitor posts in real-time" :-D

Of course I could understand the pun intended, but deliberately wanted to create a joke!
Okaaay. Actually, there's no pun there.

Protip: The confused icon, followed by "what?" just looks like you don't get it. ;P The miss-use of the word pun doesn't exactly help, either.

Okkkk... A thing to note, I've spend 4 years (8th to 12th grade) reading and examining English literature (unwillingly, as it was part of compulsory subjects). There were something around 30+ literary devices, there is something exactly defining this but... :doh: I only remember the words : "similes, metaphor, alliteration, irony, and pun"

Nice. You beat me there - I only studied english lit for a year in 10th grade. I could more-or-less guarantee your english is better than my indian or german. Though, 35 years of speaking it can only help, I suppose. Anyhow, hope I didn't ruin the joke for you - I only wanted to let you in too. :beer:
