Using a cloud provider as a vpn blocks you then #11

Hi,

I think blocking full ASN website wise is such a bad practice for the few users that use their cloud provider as a vpn/pihole service. You can do way better for filtering bad traffic with more fine-grained tool. Having such list would incitate even more people to use this practice which would in term lock a minority (or maybe more, you can not actually know...) from seeing your content.

You are 100% correct. It's a lazy practice by crap sysops. Even worse there are some sites now using these crap lists and blocking legit users. The ASN list on here is years out of date as well.

Please delete this list

You are causing so many problems for LEGIT users that are in these ASNS!!! You have no idea the trouble you have caused making this list. Blocking 10's of millions of ip's in this kind of way is so stupid.

How to use this list is case dependent. Traffics from cloud provider ASNs indeed inherit higher risks. We are using this list to assign initial risk score for incoming visitors.

Hey thanks for publishing this, I can use it as a part of my dataset. But shame on those who would completely block users for using a VPN/proxy. Seriously, all the butthurt downwoters are crybabies.
