My count has reached 100 for the day. The server serves doesn't serve international calls anyways, I wonder how would it benefit any hacker in any way.

No.  It seems that opening up some sort of automatic blocking could cause an attacker forging packets to block legitimate endpoints. It also seems like they won't get in with good passwords, so it isn't actually accomplishing something to worry about the script kiddies if you have good passwords.  And this blocking won't actually stop someone with a zero day attack or who is sophisticated and can attack from many IP addresses - these are the real threats for people with good passwords.
