> Of course, the packet should allow blocking not only a single address, but a whole network, for example, 1.2.3.4/16.

So, if my neighbour is infected and one of his devices is part of a botnet, I get blocked as well?

Block the whole country, then I guess you’ll see laws passed that IOT providers need to start updating at a better clip.
