Geolocation issue with a twist

Wed May 23 14:53:12 UTC 2018

Often people have issues with their IP blocks being geolocated incorrectly. Sometimes it's an error on the database or website's behalf, while other times it's due to a transfer. There used to be a wiki that had a few websites to go to solve these issues, but that site has been gone for years (https://web.archive.org/web/20130122055317/http://nanog.cluepon.net/index.php/GeoIP). We've made a site to hopefully collect this information.

Here is snapshot of Geolocation issue showing a Spanish ISP registered with 
a GeoLocation database our IP block, pointed to the correct location. But 
customers are getting railroaded with spam and failing apps (due to Spain).
