yeah, it's very wrong. Showing "vpn: true" (actually a regular residential connection), wrong city, region, postcode, etc. Just like every other service out there. I don't see any way to report it though.

That is really surprising. For geolocation correction, we have a self reporting system: ipinfo.io/corrections I forgot to add the link in my original comment. But as you mentioned we are showing VPN as true, that indicates a very interesting situation. Can you ping our support, please? https://ipinfo.io/support If you can also mention that, you came from HN, that will be fantastic. We will open an engineering ticket…

I'd also suggest filing a correction with MaxMind, which is where most modern geolocation data is derived: https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-location-correction.

Awesome, bookmarked! Would it be possible to list all announced IP ranges for an AS?

Disclaimer I work for IPinfo. If you can download the free IPinfo IP to ASN database CSV file. You can run the following command to get the IP ranges of an ASN. ``` grep AS19551 asn.csv | ipinfo range2cidr | cut -f1 -d ',' ``` You will need to install the IPinfo CLI to convert the IP range to their CIDR equivalent. I believe the range2cidr command is also available as a standalone binary as well. After that, you migh…

I didn't know ipinfo had a cli, good to know, i'll have a Look. Thank you!

I'm currently using ipset, that does aggregation if I remember correctly, but aggregate6 looks good!

In addition to other tools, there's also https://bgp.he.net which has a page for announced prefixes. Sometimes it's useful to use multiple tools, as not everyone will see all announcements or process them the same.

I really like the webpage, informative and minimalistic. Can this be used to look up ip's trying to connect to my server, and then ban according to nationality? (As its only for me to connect, however that can be from hotels etc around my country - so a filter on nationality might be the next best thing to a list of IP's).

Isn't there an alternative to MaxMind? Seems like a problem if they're the only useful source and they can change their license/fee to anything they want at any time.

Nice, I currently do "curl ipinfo.io" which returns json, and seems to use a more accurate geo lookup (based on the hotel wifi I'm currently on). It doesn't report the network though, and the ASN is a string of asn and name, no org or country, so that's a bonus. However curl ip.guide just returns blank (there's a redirect). If you follow the redirect with -L the json isn't pretty-printed.

You'll have to follow the redirects since the site doesn't support HTTP, but just shipped pretty-printing.

Redirection from http to https is trivial on most http servers (nginx, apache, etc)
