Dears,
I am just wondering on what basis you are considering these countries to be
potentially risky?
Even if those are risky simply putting these on default will be a mistake.
Most people don't read the configuration file or don't fully understand every
feature and just stick with the default configuration.
If you want advanced protection then you are forced to make changes or even
make your own rules.
Best regards,
Iulian
