Are you sure it’s really geolocation blocks? Or is it anonymizer and VPN service detection? The geoIP vendors typically sell both since one of anonymizers’ top applications is to evade geolocation. Have customers using peer-to-peer anonymizers wittingly or unwittingly? Customers with malware or

Even worse, some don’t even bother taking you off a list or correcting their records. In these cases I’ve had great luck once our lawyers get involved, but that really only works for US-based companies. Pretty sure the last company who used our IP space was just wrecking the internet for fun,

This is a real and growing problem. I have some networks that have experienced lengthy “no service” issues with streaming services such as Disney+ due to this, and it took many customer generated complaints and “NANOG hallway level” type human back channel escalations to actually get it
