Okay. ! > I'm currently trying to figure out where that database is located. ! ! I can't help you with that, although Maxmind has such a service. ! https://www.maxmind.com/en/locate-my-ip-address Yes, that is the point. If they have such a service, then somehow they must get to that information. And there is only one source in the world from where they can originally get my address, which is - me. Then they make a business of selling my own information back to me - and I would like to know how they do that. This is in fact just a typical case of: <how do other people get to your address in order to then sell it?>, only this time executed on the instance of an IPv6 /64, so the usual excuse <you participated in a public competition> would probably not hold. ! At least for my IP the geo information I get from there is simply junk. Mine is not junk. Or it is, depending on the viewpoint... In other words, I am wondering if it is really a good idea my Mexican and Uruguayian cloud-dependencies being associated with my private home address (which they are). cheerio, PMc -- Visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list ISC funds the development of this software with paid support subscriptions.
