AS9009 abuse
M247.ro how many of you heard about this shitty cest pit? Constant stream of abusive signups via VPNs with company IP ranges. And they have a lot of them! Save to /dev/null whole ASN?
Comments
Welcome to Romania @LeroyJ
Regards
Not recommend you this route, this impacts connectivity way too bad.
M247 is very popular with VPN providers.
Don't think they are fully to blame for that
Romania, welcome.
Welcome to the Internet. Nice to have you here. Let me introduce you to the concept of captchas.
What a silly cat...
No u
OP did those Romanians touch your network in an inappropriate way?
This! Yes! They do
may I get complementary teddy bear to show where I was violated?
Holy shit, m247 AS has ~1.6 mil of IPs!
Just block them. Fraud orders will be gone.
Wait, you didn't know how large M247 was?
Wait till you meet the shithole exemplary netizen that is Hinet Taiwan. Then you might need more than a teddy bear
I think that, M247, must be seen in relation. Compared to most other carriers in Romania, and in particular compared to RCS (or whatever) M247 is almost wonderful ...
I should prepare for more molestation and victimization?
Grr grr grr! I also want the clearname obligation in the interwebs! Lets also ban Hetzner, BuyVM and all the others having tor exit nodes on their network!
Good point. I certainly pre-blocked all digitalocean and linode ASNs. Those spam like crazzy!
To the topic: is there any free good vpn detection api service?
No, I can recommend some payed once though.
Blocking 0.0.0.0/0 blocks all IPv4 VPNs
spur.us and ipqualityscore.com work alright.
Yeah I know this problem.
I started to block AT&T, Comcast and all the other shitty cest pits and I don't get any orders anymore.
Can only recommend 9/10.
Maybe I should try the blocking of 0.0.0.0/0 like recommend above to get to a 10/10?
Start with blocking Cloudflare.
There was a guy on this forum with project to "determine" if IP is vpn/proxy. Any bells ringing?
I'm not 100% convinced filtering is necessarily needed at all. What exactly is the problem you are facing OP? Please define abusive signup.
Vpn/proxy users are unwanted. Just that.
Are you joking?
Why? What have i done to you? Or rather why would you want to exclude me from your service?
.
I'm afraid if you want/need a server in Romania, highly likely yes.
Don't get me wrong, I dislike M247 quite much too but oh well, Romania is Romania ...
How awfully funny. NOT.
I don't think he wants a server there but rather is intimidated by people signing up to his service with non-dialup IPs, which is kind of a strange metric in my opinion. I mean while i (in absolutes theory - i'd never actually do it) could directly connect the internet these days it's not been all that long ago when that would have been a security nightmare and a 100% no-go.
I'd somewhat understand if he wanted to block commercial VPNs as those probably have a higher than average percentage of bad guys but even this would block a massive amount of perfectly fine people with blanket banning VPNs in general just being complete madness.
