How can I manage geographic targeting and routing for RapidSeedbox IP ranges?
RapidSeedbox offers robust solutions for IP range allocation, although there are specific limitations and guidelines when it comes to geographic targeting and routing for IP ranges. Below, we outline the key information:
US Dedicated Datacenter (DC) IP Targeting Limitations
If you're using US Dedicated Datacenter (DC) IPs through RapidSeedbox, please note the following limitations:
City-level targeting is not available. You can only select IP ranges at the country level.
There is no availability check tool or link to view city-specific IP availability.
Guidelines for IPv6 Geographic Appearance Adjustments
If you need to ensure that an IPv6 range appears as located within the United States, the following steps must be taken:
Announce the IPv6 range through a US-based data center or Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Route the IPv6 range via this US-based entity to validate its geographical association.
After completion of these steps, the IP range will typically be recognized as US-based within 14 to 30 days. These guidelines will help you effectively manage IP range leasing and allocation with geographic considerations.
Geo-location updates can be submitted to both MaxMind and IP2Location. MaxMind processes changes twice a week, typically on Thursdays and Fridays, while IP2Location updates occur twice a month, on the 15th and 30th of each month.
It’s important to note that MaxMind does not guarantee acceptance of geo-location corrections, especially if the range is not physically located in the desired location. Additionally, they conduct MTR (My Traceroute) tests to verify the range’s actual location. 🌐
