- This article is the final part of the 'Running Your Own ISP at Home' series, focusing on modifying IP geolocation.
- Key benefits of tweaking IP geolocation include displaying absurd locations, using a single VPS for global IPs, and unlocking region-locked services.
- IP databases like Maxmind and IPInfo map IPs to locations using methods such as network scanning and WHOIS lookups.
- Cloudflare's WARP service assigns IPs based on the geolocation of the connection IP, useful for obtaining region-specific addresses.
- Preparation involves subdividing IP blocks in RIPE Database and updating BIRD configurations for accurate geolocation submissions.
- Submitting correction requests to IP databases can take 3 days to 2 weeks, with varying response times from providers.
- Using WARP ensures Cloudflare reflects the updated geolocation, though synchronization may lag by 1-2 weeks.
- Geofeed allows bulk geolocation submissions and embedding in WHOIS for automatic updates, useful for large-scale IP management.
- To prevent geolocation reversion, block ICMP and common ports, and avoid using native IPv6 for web browsing.
- The article concludes the series on setting up an autonomous system, covering BGP, Anycast, and IP geolocation spoofing.
