# Country IP Blocks

These have a thousand and one uses but are surprisingly hard to come by in

bulk.

* IPv4 and IPv6 ranges available.

* Compiled directly from AFRINIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC and RIPENCC data.

* Deduplicated and subnets merged for efficiency.

* Simplified and sorted by country TLD.

* CIDR notation.

* Updated hourly, commits only appear when there are changes.

## Note

There are more than a dozen commercial IP geolocation database providers, and

the accuracy of each provider is different. They get IP address information

from the RIRs, but the assignment changes regularly as some companies release

unwanted IP addresses and others obtain a new block of IP addresses.

The blocks of IP addresses assigned to many companies can, in turn, assign them

to their users however they want without geographic boundaries. This makes

pinpointing geolocation of an IP address rather difficult. The accuracy of

geolocation data differs by provider. You can generally expect a 95% to 99%

accuracy for the country level. The more granular you get, the less precise the

data becomes.

This projects downloads the information directly from the local RIRs and is as

accurate as the data provided. More often than not, the country attached to an

IP range is the one the registering company is located in. There is no reliable

way to determine the physical location of any IP without tracing it separately.

For an alternative source, please see the companion repository which is likely

more accurate with regards to the expectations of many users.
