Yes, that's correct. But only first mentioned IP belongs to Orange
Mobile - second one is a normal terrestrial fiber optic link in my house
(although also with dynamically assigned IPs).
Malicious actors can have shady activities over mobile networks.
Orange Swiatlowod (fiber optic) is NOT a mobile network and I guess the
vast majority of their subscribers are normal users, not malicious actors...
As we know last months AUR servers suffered massive attack wave.
Do you mean those multiple spreads of malicious AUR packages and
takeovers of orphaned packages? Or another attack?
I suspect that your global IP address was source of such activity. If
this is the case, removing these IP address ranges will expose AUR
servers for newer attack waves.
I doubt whether blacklisting IPs of legit global (or even national one
in EU) networks with dynamic IPs is a good solution in that case...
There were many better solutions proposed on this mailing and hard
cutoff of whole IP networks is the worst I've heard to be honest.
If you are not AUR uploader, then you can use GitHub mirror of AUR
repo: https://github.com/archlinux/aur
No, I'm just an Arch Linux user who wants to use yay as AUR helper...
BTW, I've got access to AUR again on both IPs now, so I guess someone
removed them from the blacklist, but for the future I think blacklisting
is not a good solution.
