I thought so too, but we already send good geofeed data to Maxmind, and
queried their DB to verify.


The worst of the worst is brightcloud / opentext

They randomly assigned my arin ip space to china 2 weeks ago

This space has

1. Not changed in any way and been with me from arin for 10 years

2. Has a proper geofeed

And i opened a ticket with brghtcloud / opentext, they agreed to fix … a
week later not fix… i followed up… they said still working on it ….

Geolocation companies are bad for QA, but brightcloud takes the cake for
bizarrely moving my arin space to China and then acknowledging and not
fixing.

 Anyone know who Auth0 is using for geolocation services? Have a customer
reporting that Auth0, Lowes, Bank of America, and some other sites are
reporting their IP in the wrong location. Checked the usual suspects,
BrothersWISP.com geolocation providers list, etcetera and they’re all
showing in the correct location.

Thanks,
