      Hello,

      I'm noticing my Oceania alias is blocking a site with IP 104.209.85.73 today (falls within the 104.209.64.0/19 in the alias).

      Arin.net shows it's owned by Microsoft, 104.208.0.0/13 .

      Does Microsoft have any datacenters in the Pacific?

        Obviously.
        I was also affected. Is switched the "List Action" to only block incoming connections.

          I wonder which country it's in, the registry listing says India but I have India whitelisted.

              @ttblum This may be of interest (note from 2014, so it's been going on a while):

              Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
              When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                GeoIP is fluid - and never 100% accurate.. IP space especially v4 moves way more than people realize. And these companies that host they dbs of where IPs are - don't really have good methods of getting stuff updated in a timely manner.

                I have fought with them trying to get stuff updated, you can submit a change - but they never acknowledge if your change was denied or just not put in yet, etc..

                  Ok, anyone know of any lists that are updated with Microsoft's current IP space?
