      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 ;)

              @johnpoz Come on now. This is a serious time, pandemic and all. There is no time for humor ☺

              I have no interest in chasing rabbits. :) Thanks man, be well!

                @jwj said in pfBlockerNG - why is Luxembourg IP in pfB_NAmerica_v4?:

                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

                  list.jpg

                  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.

                      custom.jpg

                      But sure you could use a file or url that loads the file..

                          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!
