My experience with OpenNIC and tor on the server side was that it's
mostly government IPs running lazy standard methods trying to get in
where they won't get in anyway.
Just don't use port 22, rate-limit connections (with OpenNIC this worked
a bit) and the IPs which traced back directly to those red zones in
chinese cities marked as "military/government zones" went away :).

But yeah, with tor they were in company of russia, USA, and other
nations trying to do the same ;D
