Switches IP range in HINET TW. Does anyone have a 61.* IP range without Australia (I'm getting visitors from there)?

Hey Jan,

The ranges below are part of a configuartion that Jim showed me how to set-up to allow Oceanic ranges.

I spent a lot of time separtaing the Oceanic ranges from the other APNIC ranges.

These three in the 61 class are all I have as Oceanic:

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^61\.8\.([0-9]¦[12][0-9]¦3[01])\. [OR]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^61\.88\.45\. [OR]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^61\.9\.(12[8-9]¦1[3-9][0-9]¦2[0-4][0-9]¦25[0-5])\.

Hey Don,
somehow I knew you would respond ;)

However, I somehow experimented with your ranges and found this one working:

deny from 61.
allow from 61.8.0.0/18
allow from 61.8.96.0/19
allow from 61.88. # OPTUSCOM-AU
allow from 61.9.128.0/17 # Telstra Internet

(currently switching from RewriteCond stuff to more comfortable deny from with CIDR) The problem persists with 202. etc range

Best

Jan,
I haven't look in my records to see when I implemented this thing.
I believe it's been nearly three years.

It took me a lot of hours to sort out the Oceanic IP's and then create the regex.

I'm still thankful to Jim for sharing the functioning method as I do recieve a substantial amount of Oceanic traffic.

Jim's intent however was EVIL at the time ;) ;)
I desired to allow and he desired to deny ;)
I shared the ranges with he when complete.

Since then, some APNIC ranges have been added into open ranges of ARIN. Somebody previously provided me with a URL which showed these changes, I haven't a clue where I saved that URL.

Any Oceanic ranges from the newer ranges, rather than allowing access, I just deny.

Don

BTW and very off topic, I've found some German maps, however I'm not sure if they are current or old. Believe they are old as the one I looked at showed Autstrian cities.
Enjoy
