Satellite Internet / A1
- Does any one here have Satellite internet?
- Does your IP address appear as Country Code A1 (Anonymous proxy) at https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-demo ?
- Does anyone have some other IP addresses that appear as Anonymous Proxy? Or country codes O1, A1, or A2?
Doing a bit of research on the AP GeoIP zone. Please do reply with your IP address (X.X.X.0/24 fine)
EDIT: Sorry that form outputs "Anonymous Proxy" not a country code when given an AP geolocated IP.

I do have satellite internet at our family camp and we get around 700-800ms, 5Mbps down and 1Mbps up on a good day without clouds. No it does not show up as AP.
@EricB thanks.
You may be looking for one of the shipping providers.
185.8.43.1
ping ~800
Thanks had not thought of that.
FYI to those interested, I am trying to find some legitimate uses for the country code which is primarily used by VPN providers and err... Nefarious networks.

Then we ipip.net will correct them to their physical location...
@XIAOSpider97 of course you dont have to.
So how would you handle satcoms on moving vehicles? Like ships for example.
The landing station's location.
That doesn't make sense for boats that are away from there home ports for most of their useful life.
Hi, it depends on where you are in the world:
When I'm in the UK or Ireland my satellite internet gives me a British IP,
In Mainland Europe it tends to be a "EU" IP, but in less developed parts of the world such as Asia/South America you'll tend to get an "AP" IP.
Ships that use Satellite Internet will usually either have an IP fixed to their Headquarters or will pick one up from each satellite.
Hope this helps.
For a few, AS29286 might show some IPs.
Go to speedtest.net and find ISPs located in Kamchatsky or similar regions in the extreme parts of Asia.
E.g. 77.82.124.0/24
These are regions on satellite internet. 600ms+ latency. Has correct GEOIP.
Well, we just don't want to mark them as "unknown".
At least you can work out what kind of laws apply to the IP your being attacked from.
That's not bad. I think 700-800ms is about as low as it can get. Can't wait for low earth orbit internet with sub 100ms although that is probably still at least 5 years away.
@sman yea I talked to xplornet about it and they said that's the minimum you would get no matter what.
I think O3B can deliver ~200ms latency... their satellite service.
Some island countries, their ISPs use O3B's service. The latency is much lower than when they were using "Pacific Teleports"...
That is a medium orbit equatorial system so I think you have to be near the equator. Also there are gaps in coverage so I think it goes out every so often as the sats move. In other words it's not an option for the vast majority of people. They may close the gap eventually with more sats if they haven't already. Those sats are still fairly high. 200ms may be a bit optimistic.
