This is an ongoing issue, FWIW. It’s been reported several times.

Hi,

There’s an ongoing issue with a lot of malicious traffic originating from the Chinese region. This is making the www.ads-software.com security systems limit connectivity from affected areas, and unfortunately also negatively affecting legitimate users.

We’re actively monitoring the situation, and are looking into ways to remedy this for real users, but due to how internet traffic is routed it’s not something that is likely solved quickly.
