pfBlockerNG - why is Luxembourg IP in pfB_NAmerica_v4?

I think they are, could they be gstatic addresses? I do miss Pi-Hole, could answer the question in a second...

54.222.63.5
That is this
Amazon EC2 BJS PrefixSo its not actual AWS ;)
dl.amazon.cn points to it for example..
Your not anywhere near china are you? Curious why you would be going there to be honest..
-
Wonder what it's after from that? Profile data? It's the problem with encrypting EVERYTHING. If it's not personally identifying why is it encrypted? Can't sniff to see what it is...
-
No, North Carolina. Used to live in the region. Hong Kong a long time ago, before there was Amazon. Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia more recently. Singapore until 2016 most recently.

Just looked in my dns logs, and yeah my IPAD is looking that up...
That 218 IP is
www.amazon.cn. 1833 IN A 54.222.60.218 -
Curious. Some jurisdictional thing? Maybe they have just F'd up their load balancing.

All comes down to how far you want to go down the tinfoil hat hole ;)

You will need to whitelist what you need to, Maxmind isn't going to fix their free offering.
Problem is, you can't mix them right? So for an alias-permit, there is no good solution to add some IPs to a geo-range or is there and if how? I guess you have to create your own URL-Alias somehow.
-
you can create your own and combine lists if you want.. i have this list for example
has some geo regions and then list of aws ips that are used to check plex is up, this changes now and then.. And then a list from status cake that is used to test if services up, etc.
-
@johnpoz So If I want do add some IPs my own, how would I do that, create or copy a text file to pfsense and make a "URL" or can I add some host aliases my own?
-
Scroll down. You can do full custom.
But sure you could use a file or url that loads the file..
-
@johnpoz Interesting, will try that. Thank you.
-
I had to "recreate" my geo-IP alias for that, because I was not able to combine the existing one with the custom IP. But it works!
