It seems that Geofeed is no longer working starting last week.

Can confirm this with other few server providers with VPN customers. The geolocation is now the user's REAL location like Asia or Mid-East while the IP itself is in the US.

I've had others at Google specifically say that portal should be used for that purpose, so maybe they need to make sure right and left hands know what the other is doing.

https://isp.google.com

I signed up for an account there and they said:

"Currently, the Google ISP portal is designed for our partners of GGC, PNI or IX programs.

The access to portal is granted on request only to our partners."

Google ISP specifically told me they didn't want to do deal with geolocation on the ISP portal.

unsure who 'google isp' is here, but ... I think if you point at a properly formed geo-location data file it'll get eaten and produce proper results for you.
you do have to add that in your isp portal:
   tri-pipe-thingy -> configuration -> IP geolocation
and /register feed/ button on that page.

As a note, on the ISP portal there's a place to put a link to your RFC8805 format geolocation feed...
these are scraped out 'regularly' and help keep things oriented better for folks.

the ietf noc folk use this method to tell google (and other folk who scrape out our data) where meetings are before the meetings get there:

Awesome, I think I’ve figured out the Google ISP portal signup, but it definitely seems semi-complicated in a way, notably finding the link…

Thank you,

We're working on a video to show people how to sign up for the ISP portal and get to that part of the portal once signed up. We'll drop a link to it near the Google section of our geolocation page.

Anyone have a good contact at Google who can help with IP geolocation? I have a /24 where anything related to Google is in the wrong language.

Thank you,
