# Country IP Blocks
|
|
|
|
I've decided to retire this project due to the massive amount of people unable
|
|
to understand that the IP lists generated are not suitable for the purposes they
|
|
use it for - often geoblocking. Despite repeated notices many just keep ignoring
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
Moving off GitHub was one of the best decisions ever to aid in reducing
|
|
signal-to-noise ratio. But I still receive emails about supposedly missing IP
|
|
blocks for certain countries.
|
|
|
|
I'll be continuing this project privately. In the interest of not disrupting
|
|
things too drastically and giving everyone an opportunity to notice and migrate,
|
|
I'm going to leave this repository in place for the time being. But I cannot be
|
|
clearer than this: **It may go away at any time.**
|
|
|
|
If you have a use-case beyond geoblocking for the data, I'd like to hear from
|
|
you. I will gladly restore read-only Git access to the up-to-date private
|
|
repository for you.
|
|
|
|
You can find IP lists suitable for country-level geolocation and geoblocking
|
|
here:

|

|

|
|
|
|
Make sure you adjust to using them from now on.
|
|
|
|
The same limits as always apply. If you download them in bulk or aggressively
|
|
probe for updates, you **will** get blocked. The IPs are updated at most once
|
|
per day, often even less than that.
|
|
|
|
I can also only repeat encouraging you to become a supporter by setting up a
|
|
recurring donation on GitHub. I chose GitHub sponsors since it's the easiest
|
|
to handle and they also absorb all the risk of credit card transactions. I'm
|
|
doing all of my public work while living off social security (if you call that
|
|
"living" and which is about to run out anyway) and fighting off depression
|
|
caused by existential dread. Many days I wake up questioning my will to go on.
|
|
|
|
I'm aware that it's hard for many right now. Money's tight, I get it. I have
|
|
20 years of experience working in IT. I couldn't get a job despite trying hard.
|
|
There's a difference between cutting back on luxuries and having to take on a
|
|
minimum wage job as a grocery store clerk just to make ends meet while still
|
|
living below the official poverty line despite working. Which is me right now.
