If you really want to cause a stir: for zooming in deep, use one of those ML algos to create random human face avatars and randomly assign names and fake stats to them.

One of the ad techs lurking here can probably even help you switch out the ML fakes for the real thing. :)

My Australian IP is listed as North America.

Both my phone and computer show in Australian subnets however when I had cloudflair's 1.1.1.1 app enabled on my phone it was showing within a Chinese range?

Is there a way to export all of my countries IP ranges so that I can add it into a nginx filter to better protect my self hosted website?

I put my IP in, and it put a blue marker way off on the left in the middle of the black... now I know it is a bit of a joke to leave New Zealand off maps, but geeze :)

Switch off Tor. You are in the dark net.

TIL that Ford Motor Company owns a very large number of very large IP blocks

Yeah a lot of surprising companies own a large amount of IP blocks. USPS for example - https://ipinfo.io/AS5774

It is called early adopters. As in: in the 80s (??) A random admin wrote a well written email and got what he wanted for free. Now they are worth millions.

Has anyone made one of these for ipv6? Or is that infeasible?

IPv6 wouldn't fit in a screen. Best way to do it would be trace routing and making some connections.

If you type "how many ipv6 addresses" to google you get this weird number:

"340 trillion trillion trillion IP addresses"

I found 192.168.0.1 and I am now convinced that everybody is an American (it was listed as an American IP address). /s

Probably an artifact of IANA, ICANN, IETF, ISOC all being U.S. run organizations. For better or worse.

Not when it correctly tracks 10.0.0.0/8

I’m seeing Poland and Spain as North America?

They're probably part of a group where North America is majoritary, so it all gets lumped up as North America depending on the zoom level

Taiwan (Province of China) https://ipv4.dev.sarl/@zoom=10&ip=203.187.74.93 Interesting that a Taiwan IP range would be listed as "Province of China".

It’s in the standard that way: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2

Yes, it would. It isn't any different from the linked article. You just zoom out until it fits.
