Thanks, it seems they are trying it on then :)

starlink advertises its customer ip address location at
http://geoip.starlinkisp.net (not always updated but good enough in
most cases and traceroute can confirm to some extent as well)

I run an open access usenet server, but only for those within my CC, so access is by IP based on our CC allocations from APNIC.

Because IPv4 exhaustion this changes sometimes with buying allocations from other regions, and if they get denied access I encourage them to let us know so we can keep ACL's updated, I've had a request from a starlink user who claims they are here, but traceroute shows them in .DE

As it is our policy to not collect any user info or issue user/pass's and only allow access by IP, I'm hoping someone here knows if they are full of it, or does starlink really assign addresses from anywhere? That one hardly makes sense for user experience, or maybe starlink has so few users in this country they haven't bothered changing anything yet?
