Colin, this is a good idea, but in this case the network I am interested in does not have a RIPE Atlas probe. regards, Martin On 4/28/15, Colin Johnston <colinj@gt86car.org.uk> wrote:

Hi,
as far as I know, some large US Internet companies like Google, Facebook or Amazon restrict access to some services for certain regions like Crimea or countries like Iran or North Korea. Do they rely on services like MaxMind? Or do they use some other method to check the geographical location of IP address? If yes, then is there an API to check if an address is allowed to use Google, Facebook, etc services or not?
you could use ripe atlas selecting nodes in countries you require and destination facbook/google/amazon servers and check results
