We have blocked a few high risk countries for security reasons.
Do you have a list of which countries are blocked and where we can see it?
I must admit that I find it a bit unusual that you made such a filter because coming from a certain country shouldn't affect coin mixing. I am inquisitive as to what specific situation caused such a thing.

If I remember it correctly, they're blocking some IPs because they were used to attack the clearnet domains, not necessarily to filter out people from using their mixing services. Hence why the onion link is recommended for users who want to mix coins and care about privacy. They answered this question in the past, not sure if the policy has changed or not. I remember some of my IPs from my ISP were blocked from accessing the clearnet too, but I can use the tor link just fine.

Based on their last post here, it is a block for certain states, not just an individual IP address. So I was more curious about what was happening and what are the high-risk countries.
In doing so we talk about the mixer, not about Exchange where there are many different regulations.

We have now unblocked most of them, try again.
This block only means that your IP address is from a country that we have blocked.
We just block 2-3 countries like Korea.
From our years of experience, we know which countries are worth blockading and which are not. If 99% of attacks come from these countries as an example and 1% is legitimate traffic, we prefer to block them.
We have already lowered our filters to a minimum.
A firewall nowadays and blocking can no longer be avoided because we are responsible for our security and that of our customers! That's why discussions about it are pointless as we alone know best what is good for our service and our customers.
99% of the time, all blocks are made fairly.
Nowadays, every website uses a firewall that blocks user requests. So it's not even worth mentioning.
Since there is only a limited number of IPv4 IP addresses, providers assign an IP address several times and only assign a different port to each customer. If a customer uses this IP for DDOS attacks, the whole IP is blacklisted.
We do not block ISP ranges or IP addresses permanently, but check each request separately.
Anyone who really uses a mixer knows their way around and uses a VPN anyway where you can change your IP or uses our Onion service.
