Alright guys, I need help with something. I'm an admin for a very popular server for a not so popular video game (it's not rust). We're having problems with Chinese hackers/script kiddies. Literally 100% of Chinese players are cheaters that only want to grief the server.
Are there any words or phrases that will automatically trigger the great firewall and block them from accessing my server, either temporally or permanently for the entire country? I've looked on Google and I can't find the relevant information I'm looking for, though I didn't dig very deep, everything just seemed like useless info.

One of the people in the server kept saying Falun Gong to them, but it didn't do anything. I'll try putting it in Chinese

Ask support at your hosting provider. They're usually familiar with all the tricks. Might be a game plugin. Rust has one that can block by country.

put it in the keywords that spiders crawl for metadata shit like google does.

Devs don't care, host can't do anything about it. The fuckers bypass Easy Anticheat like it's not there

Also, I have reason to believe they're using stolen credit cards for their accounts, there's like a million of them. They use VPNs because they know people range ban the entirety of China so they think they're slick
Only the Chinese characters are block I think. There's a wiki page on in which is kinda cool and fucked up at the same time.

Tibet would be one of the safest words to trigger their firewall AFAIK
You can use fail2ban and point it at your http logs. It does not do this by default so be prepared for some learning and false positives and for the love of gentoo whitelist your IP before testing.

Why don't you just ban Chinese IP blocks?

If they're using a VPN then what difference would keywords make?
