Geolocation Database and Blocking

Update : 6 November 2021. Radek Zajic from Showmax CDN posted some information on how to troubleshoot some Showmax/DSTV now issues. see the post in the list archives

https://lists.nog.net.za/pipermail/zanog-discuss/2021-November/001339.html

notes while working with issue where DSTVnow is blocking IP ranges so unable to watch

IP addresses for some reason picked up as Hosting Providers and flagged as Proxy/VPN services, and therefor blocked

Some sites to check the geolocation/type and reputation of IP addresses
https://db-ip.com
https://www.ipqualityscore.com/ip-reputation-check/lookup/
https://www.abuseipdb.com/
https://www.ip2location.com/

https://ipinfodb.com/ uses ip2location DB

https://www.maxmind.com/en/home

https://www.bigdatacloud.com/ip-geolocation/what-is-my-ip

https://ip-geolocation.whoisxmlapi.com/lookup

Some emails to send to
ipintelligence [at] geoguard.com
correction [at ] maxmind.com
support [at] ip2location.com

To correct Speedtest.net you need to update maxmind – https://support.maxmind.com/geoip-data-correction-request/

You can check what current info they have with a demo lookup in their database. and see if that matched the info on the speedtest site.
