Steve, suggested a good alternative database of IP's with two letter country beside them. It can be sorted by country in a spreadsheet. This 16MB file would seem like an ideal solution; but checking is it is missing 212.114.17 number I've checked earlier from the other source. The number 212.114.16 correctly identified as "FR" (France). deny from 212.114.16.0/24 deny from 212.114.17.0/24 The dbip-country-lite-2020-12.csv lists: 212.114.10.0 212.114.15.255 RU 212.114.16.0 212.114.31.255 FR 212.114.32.0 212.114.49.39 DE In addition all numbers 2.61.192.0 is missing as well.
