Country IP's List

[rominosj]

Hi,

Where can I get a list of country IP's ? Any suggestions? We want to block some countries to our store.

Thanks,

Hmm, interesting but given the nature of ip address asignment, probably a Sysiphian task. GeoIP tries to identify geographic information from addressing.

GEOIP

Just be prepared for a lot of flat out wrong or misplaced identification of origination. I've seen stuff off by 2000 miles and in a whole different country, so I quit considering it for demographics. If someone is really determined, they will just remote proxy and get to your site that way.

They maintain a database of IP addresses and countries (see downloads section).

There's a published PHP Class called IP to Country which will perform a lookup for you (either from the IP-to-country site or from the database, whichever is available), if you're using PHP to do this.

(You'll need to update the URL of the service though.. originally it wasn't at webhosting.info)
