I think the easiest and quickest way is to announce
the prefix by
yourself. It looks most GeoIP databases are built from ASN whois and/or
country lists on RIRs.
Currently, I'm announcing 44.190.11.0/24 by myself via a Vultr VPS
located in Paris. It's interesting to see I have several kinds of
geolocation results :
- In San Diego, California (not too bad, this is the WHOIS address of Brian)
- In Chicago (which seems to be the headquarters of Choopa, the company
who owns my VPS provider Vultr)
- In Paris (the most clever one, which probably recognised that my BGP
announcements are made from a data center in Paris)
- In Norway (this one just shows how inaccurate and unreliable GeoIP can
be, HI )
