I would like help learning how to block incoming and outgoing connections to computers located within the United States. In general, I would like to know how to do this for any given country (China, Japan, Korea, Canada, what have you).
Why? Pretty simple. For certain television programs, the American license holder will go onto the BitTorrent network and log every peer who forges connections with them. They will then notify the appropriate authorities and those peers will find themselves hammered with a legal notice. No fun. No fun at all.
So my logic was, "How do I protect myself from getting on those companies' shit lists?" And I figured that the safest tactic would be to just ban the entire country from connecting to me.
Keep in mind: I am in America. So I don't want to ban American connections in a way which would also kill my own ability to connect to people. All I want to do is make it so that I am connecting 100% to Canadians, Japanese, and other non-USA computers.
Can this be done?
