Is it possible to block traffic from Russia on dns level ? As far as i can see right now it won't resolve dns with extension that belongs to Russia .ru

So the only way to block traffic from Russia is at firewall level or it has to be done at ISP level?

  DynamicNotSlow you could, if someone came up with a list of domains that are known to be owned by Russian companies. rt.com, for example, would be on that list.

I'm assuming you could block the referenced Russian TLDs in the following article but it still might not be exhaustive
