Skynet Show Country Names instead of Codes?

[John Fitzgerald]

Hey you are talking to someone who blocks gb -Go for it.

How about in alphabetical order (I don't like it when you are not precise )

My old list: (it's shorter now)

I am puzzled which should be correct.

Skynet uses 2 different sources for country info:

• IP to country lookup for stats output: https://api.db-ip.com
• Country to CIDR lookup for banning: https://ipdeny.com

They may not always agree with each other.

Up to you, but my internet would break if I did that or the USA (unfortunately)

So you can't see https://www.bbc.co.uk/news then ?

Yes, I find myself devoting hours to looking at the news, so much so I had to block myself from it...

They are rogue, because of how they behave and are known to be rogue by the majority of respected media.

This is called "I believe", not 'I think".

Block whatever you want, just don't share your viewpoints here. Not needed.

It's not up to you to say what is allowed on these forums.

That said, I think you and others have made your opinions clear on the value of country code blocking.

This thread was opened with this:
"It would be nice if the country codes in Skynet graphs could be the names of the actual countries, rather than just codes" and has digressed.

So back on topic folks.

Definitely was sarcasm but was not meant to be directed towards anyone.

Thank you for steering the topic back to country naming versus just the codes.

And to the OP, I agree it would be nice if we could display the country codes as the actual country on the graphs. Or maybe something as simple as hovering the mouse over the country code to display the full country name.

I would like to see something like that as I don’t always remember what country the code represents

Don't worry I was not offended

@Tech9 like others, I agree to differ.


Regarding the topic I would have thought it would be relatively easy to adapt the codes to a full name for someone smart.

It could be done with a different URL:

https://api.db-ip.com/v2/free/9.9.9.9/countryName/

More like... "I know for a fact"

You would need to talk to Mr. @Adamm about that one!
