Google has its own way to determine location and it is very accurate.

You should send them cease-and-desist letter.

Due to the depletion of IPv4 IP address, IPv6 addressing is the future.

> while buying is around $10-15k

I don't think you can buy it. The IP address is owned by registry and you can only lease it.

If you are enabling GPS or MAC address sharing in your web browser, Google will still know your exact location even if you are using VPN.

It should be due to trade sanction. They will use IP geolocation service such as IP2Location to determine countries to comply. However, it is not 100% accurate.

Many NordVPN IP addresses are detected by IP2Proxy service and make it hard to use with streaming service.

Have you try FraudLabs Pro? It has a community driven blacklist which is active in web hosting community. It might be useful for Fly.io.

You can use ip2trace if you want to append geolocation information into traceroute. You can see which ISP or city has high latency.

We are running out of IPv4. ISPs are switching to IPv6 to avoid CGNAT.

Maybe it is using the language information in the browser to determine the default language.

For IP geolocation, did you see Germany if you visit https://www.ipaddress.my?

Does it spoof IP location?

Does the test database contain sensitive data? If not, you can ignore the ransom.

@desiarnezjr is right. It is painful for merchant to receive a chargeback. Merchants need to dispute the chargeback by providing sufficient documents. You can refer to https://www.fraudlabspro.com/resources/tutorials/how-to-disp... for those required documents by different payment gateway.

We validate email address by making sure it is valid. There are many APIs available in the market that they will connect to the mail server to check if the account exists.

What is the different compare to other sites such as ipaddress.my?

In our environment, blocking all traffics from data centers are effective to prevent malicious attacks. You can get the data center ranges from IP2Proxy database.

We need to whitelist a few important servers that we are working with to prevent lock-down of good traffics.

Google might be retrieving more information other than IP address to determine your location. Try to clear cache, disable GPS and wifi geolocation.

Anything wrong if you visit https://ipaddress.my in term of the results?

Yeah.. you can use the free IP2Location LITE https://lite.ip2location.com to pinpoint the location by IP address.

Nice. Do you plan to add geolocation information like https://www.ipaddress.my?

You can use ip2proxy.com to check if an IP address is behind proxy or Tor.

You can subscribe to the IP2Location DB24 database https://www.ip2location.com/database/db24-ip-country-region-... . It has usage type which can detect data center ranges (DCH).

It looks like a IP geolocaion API. However, it has missing authentication under the readme.

Need to read the fine print. If it is using "processing fee" instead of "fine". It sounds more reasonable.

How about IP geolocation? Is it possible to query service such as IP2Location via dig?

The script recommended a few residential proxy providers. However, there are proxy detection services like ip2proxy.com that could detect residential proxies. I wonder how good is this script.
