Author here. This attack was extremely broad. I saw parts of this attack come from my own home ISP's ASN, though not my IP thankfully. If we just "blocked those places" there would be a lot of collateral damage. As it stood, we did temporarily bump up rate limiting for the biggest attack ASNs and we absolutely heard from real, regular users about it (Sorry to those affected).
Either it's coming from certain places and you can block those places, or it's coming from everywhere including some that are within your legal jurisdiction.
