Need USA/European IP ranges
| Posted by RRyan, 11-24-2010, 12:10 AM |
| I'm about to open a gaming server and I wish to allow players accessing only from European countries, USA, Brazil and Balkan countries.
Basically, africa, india, asia and so on, all blocked.
I've been syn/ddos attacked few months ago pretty hard and 80% of attack traffic originated from those I mentioned.
Where can I get IP ranges for that?

| The easiest way is to reference http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4...ress-space.xml and find all of the /8 space allocated to APNIC (Asia/Australia) and AfriNIC (Africa). If you need to get more granular than that there are lists available but it becomes much more complicated to sort out.

| Hello Jeff,
Let me see if I got this straight.
Example:
105/8 AfriNIC 2010-11 whois.afrinic.net ALLOCATED
This means that if I block 105.0.0.0 - 105.255.255.255 I'll block all of the range.
I just find the remainders of afrinic and I'll have entire africa blocked?
Thank you for your reply!

| Yes, that is correct.

| Actually, there are likely many users in Africa using ARIN IP space since AfriNIC has not always existed. Satellite users will likely have RIPE (European) space.

| It seems good enough.
My visitors are players which need a low ping to connect, meaning direct connection only. Even if I skip a person or two it's still ok as long as majority is blocked.
Once again, thanks alot!
