Hey all!

It’s been a while — I’ve been busy with life, and chasing a 2-year-old toddler around the house takes up a lot of time and generates a lot of snuggles.

Recently, at work I was tasked with helping establishing geo-blocking and geo-permitting for some Azure Firewalls. Unlike Azure Application Gateways, they don’t have native support for geo-based location policies, so we needed to find a list of country-specific IPs.

I was sure that finding that data would be as simple as querying IANA, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, for a specific country code, to get all the assigned IPs. Unfortunately, that data wasn’t as easy to get as I assumed it would be. However, our NetOps team was way ahead of me here, and was able to get that working.
