We have an ISP who
As of July 1, several people are getting the message
it concerns the following range: 77.109.71.0 - 77.109.75.255 .
this is probably seen as a belgian range instead of a dutch one
If we check the IP range here 77.109.71.1 IP Address Detail - IP Address Location Lookup - Abuse IP Report , we do see it is Dutch.
What is the process to get your IP tables updated ?
Hi @user5099,
Maxmind show this as Belgian, and I believe that is one of the main data sources Cloudflare use.
You can submit a request to change this here:

Thanks domjh
Several other IP geolocation providers such as IP2Location are showing it as in Dutch.
I wonder why Cloudflare is seeing it as in Belgium.
Because they use MaxMind GeoIP2 database. GeoIP lookups are not always accurate.
@user5099, are you absolutely sure this is not a Belgian address?
Traceroutes to that address do not complete, so it’s difficult to tell where it eventually went, but they all went through Belgium and while I could imagine certain routes to go through Belgium, it would surprise me if everything did.
Maybe because the IP traceroute ends up in Belgium MaxMind thinks it is in Belgium.
I have requested the ISP to contact MaxMind, maybe the ISP can also make some technical changes so MaxMind can recognize the IP as Dutch.
Thanks for everybody’s input
