What are the “EU” Europe and “AP” Asia-Pacific entries?
“EU” and “AP” codes are used in the country code field when there are no clear indications as to where the end users are located. For example, we may mark a corporate proxy located in London, GB as “EU” if we can see that the ultimate end users are connecting from various parts of Europe. Marking that IP as coming from London would not correctly represent where end users are coming from. Please note “EU” and “AP” codes do not include all IPs covered under those respective regions. Blocking “EU” will only block IPs with the conditions described above and will not affect all the European countries with specific country codes. To block “EU”, you need to list the specific countries individually.
