At the firewall level I do block outbound to suspect nations, and inbound from all foreign nations. No ill effects that I've noted, but I'm also pretty particular about not getting "smart" or "connected" devices with the weird name brands off Amazon.
If it's a folding picnic table, sure I'm good with FooJoy, but anything that connects to a computer or the network, I stick with reputable brands.
