"As early as possible". If you're prepared to pay for a WAF (Cloudflare, AWS CloudFront, etc) that will do a lot of the heavy lifting for you. After that, try and do it at the TCP level (just drop a RESET into the stream, don't bother trying to close the connection gracefully. Or honeypot the stream with very slow responses, which may slow down the attacker from trying again). Once you're into your application, try and spend as few resources as possible on the filtering.
