I will look into this, but I’m not sure the Illinois St Police will get this 
info into their outdated DB.

Thanks

You don't often get email from ch...@noskillz.com. Learn why this is 
important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
You could try publishing Geo loc data per RFC8805

To anyone who might be able to help me reach someone clued at the State of 
Illinois website.

We (Coeo Solutions) had to acquire an IP block, 
213.159.132.0/22<http://213.159.132.0/22>, from RIPE many years ago. This was 
due to availability issues at the time for acquiring new IP’s. This block was 
transferred to ARIN and assigned to Coeo. Before this transfer this IP block 
was sourced out of Dublin IRE. Now, the majority of Geo-location systems show 
these as being in the USA correctly, but, apparently whatever the Illinois 
State uses for their Geo-location verification is still showing these IP’s as 
being located in Dublin, and because that is outside the USA, they are blocking 
access to my customers using these IP’s. I have spent months sending emails and 
filling change requests with every Geo-location database service I can get to 
respond to me, but apparently none of them are what the St of Illinois uses for 
their Geo-location filtering.

Any assistance I can find in getting this issue resolved so all my users can 
have full access to the State of Illinois websites would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
