How do you search for the blocks of IP's to use? Interested in setting one up for Japan, but having trouble finding the right block to use..

- kmfrk 12y agoYou just have to know. :) Try asking someone in the Japanese Open Knowledge chapter: http://okfn.jp http://okfn.jp.

- coderholic 12y agoA google for "japan government official website" turns up http://japan.kantei.go.jp http://japan.kantei.go.jp. We can then use the ipinfo.io API to find out which network this is on: $ curl ipinfo.io/`dig +short japan.kantei.go.jp` { "ip": "202.32.211.142", "hostname": "No Hostname", "city": null, "region": null, "country": "JP", "loc": "35.6900,139.6900", "org": "AS2497 Internet Initiative Japan Inc." } We can lookup more details at http://ipinfo.io/AS2497 http://ipinfo.io/AS2497. It looks like lots of different organization share this network, including Coca-Cola, and a bunch of universities, so filtering based on this network is going to get us what we're after. You can also go to http://ipinfo.io/countries/jp http://ipinfo.io/countries/jp and see all of the networks in Japan. There are a few that are government related, but there doesn't seem to be a main or single network that the government uses. Things are easier in the UK where you have http://ipinfo.io/AS29214 http://ipinfo.io/AS29214 (Houses of Parliament) or Ireland where you have http://ipinfo.io/AS15806 http://ipinfo.io/AS15806 (Irish Government)
