IP addresses in North Korea

What an IP address located in North Korea carries: the registries that allocated its space and how much, the privacy regime, sanctions programmes and FATF list a lookup answers for it, the clock it keeps, and how well free geolocation places a city here. Read from the registries’ statistics and the curated facts files, never from a person.

What the registries record for North Korea

The five regional Internet registries publish daily statistics of every block they have allocated or assigned, each with the country they recorded for it. These are the rows that name North Korea. A registry country is what the registrant declared, and it can differ from where an address is used.

What a lookup answers for an address here

Every IP lookup that places an address in North Korea carries the same country facts beside the network: is_eu false, is_eea false, currency KPW and calling_code 850. The three below are facts about the place from curated files that name their sources and dates; none of them is advice and none carries a risk weight.

  • Privacy law. No comprehensive privacy law is known for North Korea in the curated map, so a lookup answers privacy_regime: null — which means not known, never that there is none.
  • Sanctions. North Korea is under a comprehensive US (OFAC) sanctions programme; a lookup answers sanctions: ["ofac_comprehensive", "ofac_programme"]. A fact about the place, never a verdict about a person.
  • FATF. The FATF lists North Korea as a high-risk jurisdiction subject to a call for action; a lookup answers fatf_list: call_for_action.
  • Clock. Asia/Pyongyang — the whole country keeps one clock, so every address here answers that zone.

Run the lookup

The same fields, with the network, the operator and every flag beside them, for any address:

curl https://spaw.co/api/v1/ip \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"ip": "203.0.113.9"}'

Or try one without a key on the free IP lookup, and read every field in the IP intelligence guide.

If Spaw is holding data about you and you never signed up here — a customer may have had your address verified, or reported that a message to it bounced — erase it yourself, confirmed by mail to that address and with no account needed.
