If you need your Country IP Blocks network lists by continent, we have great news for you!
Country IP Blocks has Network Aggregation Lists by Continent Available for testing. These are only available in IP range at the moment. For example:
3.0.0.0-4.255.255.255
6.0.0.0-9.255.255.255
11.0.0.0-13.255.255.255
15.0.0.0-23.23.255.255
23.32.0.0-23.67.255.255
24.0.0.0-24.30.223.255
24.31.0.0-24.41.95.255
These lists aggregate all contiguous networks in each continent, reducing the size of the data by up to ninety-percent.
We will make these available for testing for one week. Please provide us with some feedback. And if you like what Country IP Blocks is doing in providing this data please make a donation. Thanks.
Here are the test lists:

During a recent audit Country IP Blocks scored 99.3% accuracy in our access control lists. This is a significant improvement over the past year.
We also audited some of our competition. We selected 26 European countries as our test. The percentages are based on the following criteria for each country:
- Total number of correctly assigned networks
- Total number of incorrectly assigned networks
- Total number of missing networks
Here is how the country Access Control Lists of one of our competitors fared: Read more…
Press Release:
January 8, 2012
Country IP Blocks is proud to announce that we will now include the complete list of all Bogon networks within our database (this includes IPv6 networks). Bogons are networks that are reserved, or allocated to a Regional Internet registry but unassigned. Bogons should not generally be allowed access to your inbound networks.
A bogon is a bogus IP address, and an informal name for an IP packet on the public Internet that claims to be from an area of the IP address space reserved, but not yet allocated or delegated by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) or a delegated Regional Internet Registry (RIR). The areas of unallocated address space are called the bogon space. Source.
The addition of the complete bogon and unallocated networks to our database means we have 4,294,967,296 IPv4 addresses or 100% of all possible IPv4 addresses. These addresses are updated daily
Proper filtering of Bogon traffic may reduce malicious traffic by 10% to 60% on your network.
If you are going to filter Bogon traffic please keep in mind these networks change daily. Therefore we recommend you develop a plan for maintaining your Access Control Lists and update them often. Failure to do so could result in undesired results.
