Geoblocking, IP not blocked

[gctwnl]

(Not upgraded yet, will soon)

I have some geoblocking in my firewall (mainly to prevent direct attacks/spam from a few countries). One of these countries is China, a rather large source of this. But I just noticed that 101.47.29.67 was not blocked, while it is clearly Chinese. That made me wonder: are there tables I have to update or anything else I should do?

First step: log in to the Maxmind or IPinfo portal where you registered to set up your (assumed) free account, then check with their tools, where they locate that address.

How exactly did you set up geoblocking? We don't guess on a Wednesday

Hi,

I work for IPinfo. Why do you think, "101.47.29.67" is located in China?

Please check: https://ipinfo.io/101.47.29.67

You can verify the location yourself using our ProbeNet tool that the IP address is located in Singapore. My hunch says it's probably in an Equinix data center. I can give you the exact data center location if you want. We have several servers in the same data center where this IP address is located. We have less than 2 ms RTT to verify the data center locations. Based on active measurement, we are confident about our reporting.
