I'm wondering if it's possible to block access based on location, as many hackers and ransomware attacks in recent years came from Russia or Belarus etc.

I dont want my vps accessed by those countries. I'm aware that there's ways around this, such as VPN, but it will reduce the attacks.

To block access from a specific country or region, you should use the blacklist for IP ranges or use the whitelist for allowed locations, it's not easy to get IP lists.
