remotetm is the parent of countryipblocks.net. We sometimes use the domain for tests. The link has been updated. Thank you for using Country IP Blocks.

When I click on the link for .htaccess deny for Europe, I get a Not Found error. I was about to use the .htaccess allow data for Europe and do a search-and-replace on ‘allow’ for ‘deny’, but then I noticed the result page was on a different domain. That link goes to: http://www.remotetm.net/e_country_data/Europe_deny.txt
When I used the countryipblocks.net domain with the rest of the URL, it produced the expected results correctly. Thought you might want to know about this.

In a /18 network the first 18 bits are used for the network ID. The remaining 14 bits are used for the host ID. A CIDR /18 network has 16,384 addresses available (including the two reserved addresses). 209.109.96.0/18 is made up of two /19 networks: 209.109.96.0/19, 209.109.128.0/19; each has 8,192 addresses.

Convert 209.109.96.0 into decimal: 3513606144
Convert 209.109.159.255 into decimal: 3513622527

Subtract the top number from the bottom number and add 1 to the total. This gives us 16,384 addresses (zero counts as 1) or a CIDR /18.

The network range you mentioned: 209.109.64.0 – 209.109.127.255, is actually a CIDR /19. A /19 has 8,192 addresses.

I might be wrong, but it appears to me that 209.109.96.0/18, which your web site shows as 209.109.96.0 – 209.109.159.255 would actually be a range of 209.109.64.0 – 209.109.127.255 . There are several entries in the United States table with this .96.0/18 . Please explain.

There seems to be something weird going on in the “EUROPEAN UNION” section:

194.93.64.0 – 194.93.64.255 (this is ok, but after it..)
194.93.65.0 – 194.93.64.255 (.. this invalid range repeats 8 times)

It is one of many projects we are currently developing. No word on a final release yet.

When you block an country you are blocking traffic from IP ranges assigned or allocated to that country. This will include bots emanating from within those addresses. Google does utilize bots within a variety of countries. However, Google does not publish the IP addresses of these bots. We recommend you monitor your bot traffic and then Verify Googlebot using the instructions located at Google Webmaster Central.

I cant seem to find an actual answer to this thought google, my sites country specific so i used the allow script to only allow the ip ranges within my country as my site serves absolutely no purpose to anyone in any other country.

By using this allow/block method/s does that also mean that if America is blocked am i then effectively blocking all American search engines like google and yahoo or do they fall outside the provided range and if not could you perhaps point me in the direction of blocking countries but allowing specific bots.

Thanks

I agree with the iptables list. I ultimately just use your lists (with a little bit of doctoring via vi) to just flat out deny postfix connections. Works well.

iptables -I input -s subnet/cidr -j DROP # Country name i.e. china

would really be quite wonderful.

I would like to incorporate your data into our website system so that our users can allow or deny countries that they do not want visiting their websites. Is there a place I can download in 1 file all of the country IP’s in CIDR format for use in our website system?
