- tony_cannistra 4y agoTIL that Ford Motor Company owns a very large number of very large IP blocks
- iancmceachern 4y agoWhat do they intend to do with them?
- thejosh 4y agoYeah a lot of surprising companies own a large amount of IP blocks. USPS for example - https://ipinfo.io/AS5774 https://ipinfo.io/AS5774
- oaiey 4y agoIt is called early adopters. As in: in the 80s (??) A random admin wrote a well written email and got what he wanted for free. Now they are worth millions.
- 0xbadcafebee 4y agoMy company owns some large IP blocks from a while back; they are mulling over selling them since they aren't in use. But then someone internal says "what if we need them for XYZ", so the sale is delayed. Easier to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
- anyfactor 4y agoTIL there are ".ford" and ".lincoln" TLDs https://ipinfo.io/AS3389#block-domains https://ipinfo.io/AS3389#block-domains https://nic.ford/ https://nic.ford/ https://nic.lincoln/ https://nic.lincoln/
- throw0101c 4y agoWell: > The evaluation fee is US$185,000. Applicants will be required to pay a US$5,000 deposit fee per requested application slot when registering. The deposit will be credited against the evaluation fee. Other fees may apply depending on the specific application path. See the section 1.5 of the Applicant Guidebook for details about the methods of payment, additional fees and refund schedules. * https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/global-support/faqs/faqs-en https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/global-support/faqs... There are cars that are more expensive than that, so setting up a new (g)TLD is really not that difficult or expensive for any moderately large organization. At this point, just about any random word in the dictionary has probably been made into a TLD: * https://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt https://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt
- anyfactor 4y agoThat is cheaper than some ".com" domain people are trying to sell.
- tmn007 4y agoMy Australian IP is listed as North America.
- raydiatian 4y agoI found 192.168.0.1 and I am now convinced that everybody is an American (it was listed as an American IP address). /s
- jahsome 4y agoWe are all American on this [God-forsaken] day ;)
- RajT88 4y agoProbably an artifact of IANA, ICANN, IETF, ISOC all being U.S. run organizations. For better or worse.
- vermilingua 4y agoNot when it correctly tracks 10.0.0.0/8
- mlry 4y ago172.16.0.0/12 should also be marked as reserved for private use.
- keithnz 4y agoI put my IP in, and it put a blue marker way off on the left in the middle of the black... now I know it is a bit of a joke to leave New Zealand off maps, but geeze :)
- ge96 4y agoLike that UI/color palette
- arizonaforce 4y agoVery cool
- drewtato 4y agoSite is kinda dying (at least in my region of IP) but I looked up .sarl: it's like .gmbh or .ltd but French.
- thatannoyingguy 4y agoI was surprised that there is a TLD for sàrl, given that it is only used in some french-speaking countries. Interesting.
- hulahoof 4y agoIt's astonishing that N.A. has over half of the IPv4 allocations! My country doesn't even appear until zoom level 5
- megatoaster 4y agoI’m seeing Poland and Spain as North America?
- Biganon 4y agoThey're probably part of a group where North America is majoritary, so it all gets lumped up as North America depending on the zoom level
- bqmjjx0kac 4y agoHas anyone made one of these for ipv6? Or is that infeasible?
- system2 4y agoIPv6 wouldn't fit in a screen. Best way to do it would be trace routing and making some connections. If you type "how many ipv6 addresses" to google you get this weird number: "340 trillion trillion trillion IP addresses"
- charcircuit 4y ago>IPv6 wouldn't fit in a screen. Yes, it would. It isn't any different from the linked article. You just zoom out until it fits.
- kibwen 4y agoIn an IPv6 map, the entire IPv4 space would take up exponentially less area than a single IP address takes up in the IPv4 map. I don't know how IPv6 addresses get allocated, but at that zoom level it would be quite empty.
- charcircuit 4y agoEvery level you zoom out lets you see exponentially more addresses.
- system16 4y agoTaiwan (Province of China) https://ipv4.dev.sarl/@zoom=10&ip=203.187.74.93 https://ipv4.dev.sarl/@zoom=10&ip=203.187.74.93 Interesting that a Taiwan IP range would be listed as "Province of China".
- itazula 4y agoIt’s in the standard that way: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2
- andai 4y ago>ISO country name follows UN designation (due to political status of Taiwan within the UN)
- celestialpeasan 4y agoOther than the standard people mentioned, there are also the "1992 consensus" [1] which intentionally made the word "China" ambiguous. One possible interpretation is there's a thing called "de jure China", and both P.R.China and R.O.China (Taiwan) can claim themselves as legit. It's just de facto R.O.China happens to control only one province within China with is Taiwan (maybe plus some islands from Fujian).

- em500 4y agoAs others have noted, this is a legalese/formality issue (copied from ISO-3166), not a political statement. Note that IP ranges from provinces in mainland China are listed as "China", not "Province of China" (e.g. https://ipv4.dev.sarl/@zoom=16&ip=203.187.74.93 https://ipv4.dev.sarl/@zoom=16&ip=203.187.74.93). Additionally, the formal name of Taiwan is "Republic of China", so the loophole for formal purposes, as others have mentioned, is that the term "China" is ambiguous. I think the more interesting thing is that Crimean IPs are listed as part of Russia (e.g. https://ipv4.dev.sarl/@zoom=16&ip=77.121.55.93 https://ipv4.dev.sarl/@zoom=16&ip=77.121.55.93). Practically speaking Crimea operates as province of Russia nowadays, but I believe formally/diplomatically most countries still recognize it as part of Ukraine. That's almost a reversal of Taiwan, which operates as an independent country in practice, but for formal/diplomatic purposes is considered as part of "One China".
- yuuta 4y agoVery impressive ... I hope I can get a /24.
- jancsika 4y agoIf you really want to cause a stir: for zooming in deep, use one of those ML algos to create random human face avatars and randomly assign names and fake stats to them. One of the ad techs lurking here can probably even help you switch out the ML fakes for the real thing. :)
- poglet 4y agoIs there a way to export all of my countries IP ranges so that I can add it into a nginx filter to better protect my self hosted website?
- irrational 4y ago500 server error Sounds about right.
- tgrcode 4y agoLooking forward to the source code, getting all those IP ranges in realtime when zooming in is impressive and something I couldn't get working
- tgrcode 4y agoAh, here it is https://github.com/davidbullado/ipv4explorer https://github.com/davidbullado/ipv4explorer
- amarant 4y agoThe "you are here" marker doesn't appear very accurate. It placed me in North America, but I'm in Sweden... Edit: zooming in it actually places me in Sweden and even gets my ISP right. But still categorises me as North America. Did geography change while I slept?
- MaxMatti 4y agoLooks like it just takes the category with he highest share of a block to label that block when you zoom out.
- _han 4y agoI assumed the initial marker is placed where the website is hosted from, not where the client is connecting from. (For me it was also in North America whereas I am in the Netherlands.)
- bouncingbunny 4y agoProbably due to IP transfers between regions. The original /8 was assigned to ARIN (which handles IP addresses in the US), and then later a more specific subnet (like a /16) was transferred to RIPE (which handles the European region). So while the big block is correctly shown as North America, the smaller ones shouldn't be.
- laci37 4y agoI looked up my university's /8 block, it's listed as North America, Hungary, BME.
- oefrha 4y agoSeems hugged. It was loading two minutes ago but now all I get is HTTP 520/525/nothing.
- nly 4y agoZoom performance terrible on FF for anyone else?
- Hitton 4y agoYes. Zooming in seems to be ok, but zooming out misbehaves.
- crizzlenizzle 4y agoI’d love to see IPv6
- _ZeD_ 4y agoarchived at https://xkcd.com/195/ https://xkcd.com/195/ :)
- sulam 4y agoI miss Quarterman’s newsletter.
- stall84 4y agoHey are they able to get a live 'snapshot' of their map for their favicon ? Or do you think they just took an average map representation ?
- fred256 4y agoI thought this was going to be a link to https://xkcd.com/195/ https://xkcd.com/195/
- therealmarv 4y agoSo what will be future use? :D
