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?

thats not concerning at all!

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?

Maybe you are looking for Maxmind Geo IP [1]. Happy if anyone proposes better alternatives. I haven't worked with this for a couple of years.

Looking forward to the source code, getting all those IP ranges in realtime when zooming in is impressive and something I couldn't get working

Site is kinda dying (at least in my region of IP) but I looked up .sarl: it's like .gmbh or .ltd but French.

I was surprised that there is a TLD for sàrl, given that it is only used in some french-speaking countries. Interesting.

The "you are here" marker doesn't appear very accurate. It placed me in North America, but I'm in Sweden...

Edit: zooming in it actually places me in Sweden and even gets my ISP right. But still categorises me as North America. Did geography change while I slept?

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".

Other than the standard people mentioned, there are also the "1992 consensus" [1] which intentionally made the word "China" ambiguous.

One possible interpretation is there's a thing called "de jure China", and both P.R.China and R.O.China (Taiwan) can claim themselves as legit. It's just de facto R.O.China happens to control only one province within China with is Taiwan (maybe plus some islands from Fujian).

Looks like it just takes the category with he highest share of a block to label that block when you zoom out.
