أصدرت دبيان الإصدار 13.6، وهو تحديث نقطي جديد لسلسلة دبيان 13، يركز بشكل أساسي على تصحيحات الأمان وإصلاحات الأخطاء الحرجة. يتضمن التحديث ترقية لـ 'fwupd' بدعم جديد لـ Secure Boot CA و KEK و DBX استجابةً لانتهاء صلاحية الشهادات. كما يعود حزمة 'geoip-database' إلى إصدار 2019 بسبب مشكلات الترخيص، مما قد يؤثر على دقة بيانات تحديد الموقع الجغرافي.

Secure your Caddy server with IP whitelisting and GeoIP blocking using MaxMind. Restrict access to private RFC1918 ranges and trusted public IPs, while blocking high-risk countries with the geoip directive. Requests from blocked sources get a 403 Forbidden. Works on Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, CentOS 9. #geoip #ip-whitelist #ValtersIT

Я адаптировал geo файлы v2ray для OpenWrt: теперь работают все сайты, а размер файлов уменьшен в 1000 раз
В стандартных клиентах, таких как v2rayN, используются специальные (geo) файлы, которые позволяют проксировать, блокировать трафик, а также пропускать его напрямую в зависимости от домена/IP адреса назначения. Пользователь @runetfreedom создал такие файлы для российских пользователей, за что ему большое спасибо. В теории, настроив маршрутизацию с этими файлами один раз, не нужно постоянно включать/выключать VPN или прокси при пользовании интернетом, так как клиент вроде v2rayN проксирует только заблокированные сайты. На практике же...

[Перевод] Как ошибка в интернет‑картах превратила жизнь фермы в Канзасе в «цифровой» ад
Оригинал опубликован The Week 14 мая 2016 года. Текст старый, но сегодня читается почти острее: это история не только про IP‑геолокацию, а про то, как одно неудачное значение по умолчанию в базе данных может годами ломать жизнь реальным людям.

Localisez n'importe quelle IP avec l'alias GeoIP ultime !
Salut les libristes ! Marre de ne pas savoir d'où viennent les requêtes sur vos serveurs ?
J'ai pondu un petit guide pour installer un alias multisources (MaxMind + ip66.dev) qui vous donne la provenance d'une IP en une seconde chrono dans votre terminal. C’est simple, c'est propre, et c’est du BlablaLinux 😜

Прозрачный VPN на роутере: VLESS + Reality + TPROXY на OpenWrt от А до Я
Десять устройств дома, и каждому нужен доступ к заблокированным ресурсам. Ставить VPN-клиент на телевизор и колонку — невозможно, на телефон жены — бесполезно. Я настроил прозрачный VPN на роутере: VLESS+Reality+XTLS-Vision через TPROXY на OpenWrt. Сплит-роутинг по GeoIP и доменам, автообновление серверов из подписки каждые 30 минут, балансировка по задержке, procd с автоперезапуском. В статье — полный путь от коробочного Cudy TR3000 до рабочей системы: nftables, policy routing, base64-декодер на awk и все баги, которые я нашёл по дороге.

That's nice, but how about to here?
(I very much enjoy how much GeoIP gets confused by our IP block.)

WTF is Facebook doing?
https://blog.hardill.me.uk/2026/03/12/wtf-facebook-doing/I’ve been running my HTTP server logs though a tool called goaccess for a while, this tool generates a bunch of charts showing traffic volume and how it breaks down by the different hostnames/services that NGINX proxies for.

Finally got goacces to do proper GeoIP reporting on my webserver logs to help show where in the world my traffic is coming from for the last 14 days.
It's also doing ASN breakdowns so I can try and see who is pulling the data.

Российский мессенджер MAX замечен в обращении к иностранным сервисам определения IP и серверам конкурентов
Пользователи профильного NTC‑форума (открывается только через IPv6), посвященного исследованиям интернет‑цензуры и обхода блокировок, обнаружили необычное сетевое поведение российского мессенджера MAX. Речь про официальный APK с официального сайта . Схема была довольно прямолинейной: в одном случае использовали PCAPdroid - приложение, которое на Android-устройстве имитирует VPN для перехвата сетевого трафика без необходимости получения root-прав, таким образом позволяя отслеживать, анализировать и блокировать сетевые соединения, осуществляемые приложениями на устройстве. В другом случае анализировался трафик из эмулятора, причем отдельно отмечено, что образ системы в эмуляторе был “чистый”, без установленных других мессенджеров и дополнительного софта. По наблюдениям (дампы PCAPdroid выложены на форуме), мессенджер MAX регулярно дергает сразу несколько сервисов для определения внешнего IP-адреса, причём часть из них - зарубежные. Среди доменов, которые всплыли при проверке, кроме российских сервисов, видны также иностранные сервисы.

Ich habe inkonsistentes Verhalten meiner #OPNsense (Version 6.1.2_5) festgestellt. Bei Änderungen des DNS auf #Quad9 oder #IPv64 verliert die Firewall während des Surfens die DNS-Verbindung. Wenn ich hingegen den DNS von Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) eintrage, funktioniert er stabil. Zudem gibt seit heute Fehlermeldung zum #GeoIP -Update-Link von #maxmind Im Internet finde ich jedoch keine Informationen zu diesem Verhalten. Komisch.

2. Streetcomplete and #Openstreetmaps
On the topic of #geolocation , there's another FOSS project that relies on community submissions to build a privacy preserving map
let's face it, Google Maps is the most solid, polished and convenient maps app out there, it offers detailed business listings, phone numbers, open hours, photos and reviews, Streetview (which OSM lacks), live traffic, routing algorithms with turn by turn navigation.. Etc.
But as it's the case with proprietary software, convenience comes at a cost, a cost that no one can afford, loss of privacy.
Most people fail to recognize how sensitive location data is, how it's used against them and how it can be abused in the future.
if I ask.. where were you on February 9, 2012, at 3 o'clock? you have no clue, you can't even remember what you had for dinner last night! me too :-) our brains can't recall events with time and location with such great precision, if you can.. you must be Charles Xavier from X-Men :-P
But you know who can remember? Google. the Ad company profiles individuals by tracking queries, routes, and interactions, it records your movements by a feature called location history which is turned on by default, even when you don't use the app, your movements are still logged, heck.. even if you turn off location history altogether, Google keeps on tracking you.. this should tell you how much valuable location data is for E-Corp, where you work or study, what you're planning to buy, where you go for entrainment.. etc. all used to create a profile so that the surveillance machine can target you with ads..
The brightside is that we don't have to use a surveillance tool like Google Maps, OrganicMaps is a free and open source software that respects your privacy, does not collect or transmit your location, search history, or usage data and it encourages you to use it offline by letting you know that you have to download maps for your area.
Organic Maps uses OpenStreeMaps which is also free software, but as I mentioned it's not as rich as Google Maps in terms of data. :-(
Which brings us to Streetcomplete, a FOSS android app designed to make contributing to OpenStreetMap easy. It's really like a real life game and I find it fun, It uses a simple question and answer interface to gather missing OpenStreeMaps details like: surface types of paths, opening hours of shops, speed limits.. etc
Submitted data will appear on OpenStreeMaps, so all users of apps like @organicmaps and @CoMaps can benefit from :-)

You can contribute to the #freesoftware movement even if you don't know how to write #code here's some practical examples:
1. @beacondb & #Neostumbler
BeaconDB is community-driven wireless geolocation database that serves as a replacement for Mozilla Location Services (MLS), which was discontinued in March 2024.
why is this project important?
because #Google collects extensive location data tied to user accounts for advertising and profiling (even if you turn off location history) Google doesn't understand consent, what a surprise! :blob_rollingeyes:
BeaconDB will provide privacy friendly geolocation, allowing #degoogled #android ROMs like #CalyxOS and #GrapheneOS to be used without relying on Google (Google's location services)
Neostumbler is an #opensource android app, that collects geolocation data from wireless signals such as Wi-Fi access points, cell towers, and Bluetooth beacons, NS does not collect personal identifying information, only anonymized wireless signal data and it can be turned off at any time. (can't say the same for Google)
you can start contributing to BeaconDB simply by downloading and installing NeoStumbler, enabling GPS, open NS and start a scan, start walking or driving, and after you cross a certain distance, you'll see some generated reports, press upload to upload them all (you can also go to settings and enable automatic uploading in the background)
If you want to volunteer and help us free our phones, laptops and smart watches from corporate ecosystems (like Google's location services) and achieve digital sovereignty in the aspect of geolocation, take a look at these links

Merke: Mit #GeoIP Blocking „US“ zu blockieren ist schon mal keine gute Idee, wenn man das #ActivityPub Plugin in #Wordpress verwendet… mastodon.sdf.org steht nämlich in den US 😅
-
A few months have passed and #Maxmind #GeoIP has yet again marked my #IPv6 /48 as "hosting" rather than "residential". This sets off alarms on various local streaming services, making them think I'm using a VPN.
My provider contacted them on multiple occasions, they fixed it once, and now it broke again.
So there you go, that one company that makes life difficult, because they can't figure out how to make persistent fixes to their darn database.

Как устроен CDN RUTUBE: железо, сеть, ПО
Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Дмитрий Иванов, я начальник отдела эксплуатации IT-инфраструктуры RUTUBE, что на наши деньги переводится как SRE-тимлид. В этой статье разберу задачу доставки контента и расскажу и решениях, которые помогают нам в RUTUBE. Дано: с одной стороны у нас 17,7 млн ежедневных пользователей, а с другой — 400 млн единиц контента. Оба эти показателя постоянно увеличиваются, а география присутствия пользователей расширяется. Требуется: показывать всем нашим пользователям видео из библиотеки быстро, надежно и эффективно.

#ebay needs to update their #GeoIP database.
I've just logged on from an old computer in my house, and it's sent me an email saying someone has logged in from Shropshire, which is over 100miles away, when most sites think I am based in North London (which is still wrong, but my ISP is at least based there).
No other site seems to ever think I'm in Shropshire.
I wish companies would just list the IP address and browser details in their "a new device had logged in to you account" emails, any other details seem to be totally wrong, and therefore useless 🤬

Если вы всё ещё используете IP-геолокацию для выбора отображаемого языка, то хватит заниматься ерундой. Это ошибочное допущение, замаскированное под фичу. IP сообщает, откуда пришёл запрос, и на этом всё. Он не сообщает, какой язык нужен пользователю, на каком языке он говорит и какой язык понимает. Подобная система постоянно ломается — VPN, путешествия, эмиграция, страны с несколькими официальными языками. Это не умное, а раздражающее решение.

OK maybe I'm seeing things, but I'm 100% sure when I asked ChatGPT to geolocate an image last night it said something like "based on your location in Glasgow" when it was making some guesses. I wasn't in Glasgow and I knew for a fact that the photo was taken in the USA, but then noticed my VPN was on and had an exit node in Glasgow. I didn't think much of it, told it to ignore my own location and continued. When I remembered that today I thought well that's kinda bad, taking the user's IP location into account when asked to geolocate a random photo. I tried to replicate the session, planning to switch to exit nodes in different countries and see if that changes the results. However I got completely different results than last night and also when asked directly, ChatGPT insisted that it can't see my IP nor my GeoIP location. No idea what happened there and since it was a temporary session I don't have the history of last night, but if indeed your own location (as perceived by ChatGPT) plays into its efforts to geolocate images, that's something one should keep in mind when using ChatGPT for OSINT.

Sometimes the situation with open source is paradoxical. I developed mmdb-server and GeoOpen to maintain a fully open toolchain for Geo IP lookup, yet now many people are submitting pull requests to reintroduce proprietary and closed databases.

If you're curious, check out the current pull requests and network forks to support proprietary databases. Why not invest that effort into improving open GeoIP instead?
