They must control ranges of "indian" IP addresses but announce BGP routes for them in Singapore and the UK. GeoIP says India, BGP takes you somewhere else. Easy

- elij 4y agonot true -- your prefix location is a BGP tag which is appended based on where you're physically connected (which T1 carriers will do). Obviously you can get around it with an overlay network but you'll need some trivial PoP in India.
- ev1 4y agoNah this is all just fake whois entries announced elsewhere. Has no connection to IN outside of that.
- elij 4y agointeresting that they're having so much success with false RIPE/ARIN entries. Proper geolocation (as in with visiblity of most T1s) would trivially identify the origin of traffic.
- ev1 4y agoThere is less success than you would expect, but it's mostly just there to tick a box, not really used much.
