South Africa IP ranges: questions

How many IP addresses does South Africa have?

How do I block all South Africa IP addresses?

Download the list above in the format of your firewall: iptables/ipset, nginx, Apache, ufw or MikroTik. Turn on "aggregate" to merge adjacent blocks into fewer rules. The raw list is at /Ranges/ZA.txt, one CIDR per line. To inspect a single block use the CIDR calculator.
