The term "IP blocking" accurately conveys the concept you're describing. It refers to the practice of restricting access to specific IP addresses or IP ranges by implementing filtering or blocking measures, often employed by entities such as the Great Firewall of China (GFW). This results in the affected IP addresses being inaccessible from within the restricted network, leading to issues such as timeouts and failures when attempting to establish connections, such as SSH connections. IP blocking is typically employed for reasons related to politics, law, security, or similar considerations to limit access to specific content, services, or resources.
