It's not really overzealous since not banning the CGNAT IPs just gives the abusers safe harbor.





And banning them makes an entire country unable to use your site. That might be tolerable (to the site owner, but not in general) if the country is Argentina. Not if the site is France. Which is why Argentina gets blocked a lot more than France and if you want to scrape things you'd do better on a CGNAT network in France.
