Looks like it was taken off the list in Sept 2016. I suppose this could be the reason why our block is still listed in various networks, even though it's not on a known 'official' list. Thanks for the tip Mike. ----- Pete Baldwin Tuckersmith Communications (P) 519-565-2400 (C) 519-441-7383 On 03/11/2017 01:53 AM, Mike Hale wrote:

Out of curiosity, who were the previous owner(s), it seems that ARIN only shows the current owner with any history? If it was a Chinese/Russian block, you might be out of luck.

Hi All,
Hopefully this is not taken in bad taste. Our organization purchased some IP space last year (163.182.192.0/18 to be specific), and it appears that this block must have been used for less-than-admirable purposes in the past.
We have been trying to clean up the reputation where possible, and we do not appear to be on any blacklists, but we do appear to be blocked from a lot of networks across the US/Canada. I am noticing a lot of name servers blocking our requests, many web servers, gaming servers, mail etc.
This is a transition block for us to move towards v6 everywhere, but we have many systems that will need to rely on this block of space for some time to come.
We are a small rural co-op ISP in Ontario, and I am just writing this email as an extra plea so that if you happen to run a network that has this entire range on your naughty list, we would appreciate you giving it another chance. I can be contacted on or off list, thanks.
