amazon database
Hello, I would like to know what databases Amazon uses to determine the location of IP segments, since Amazon has blocked several IPs from our range and we want to know if these databases that provide information to Amazon are correctly updated.

Please provide more details on your setup or applications.
@hubynet -- I see that you have asked multiple variations of his question but are not getting great answers here. It would probably be most expeditious for you to open a support case and dig into the very specific details with an engineer.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awssupport/latest/user/case-management.html
I have asked for help in the account and billing option and I have not had an answer, in the technical option the basic plan is not supported, I have tried in different ways to contact someone from amazon but it seems impossible.
See additional answer on your other posting: https://repost.aws/questions/QUUM7XgovqTX-pCBqJmtrWpg/ip-blocking-in-amazon-services
There are two answers here, there's what Route 53 uses to determine which DNS name it returns (for geolocation or geoproximity records) https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/routing-policy-edns0.html
Amazon Route 53 supports the edns-client-subnet extension of EDNS0. (EDNS0 adds several optional extensions to the DNS protocol.) Route 53 can use edns-client-subnet only when DNS resolvers support it:
When a browser or other viewer uses a DNS resolver that does not support edns-client-subnet, Route 53 uses the source IP address of the DNS resolver to approximate the location of the user
And there's what CloudFront uses to decide where to serve out content from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/latest/APIReference/API_GeoRestriction.html
CloudFront determines the location of your users using MaxMind GeoIP
amazon uses maxmind to know my geo IP? that in maxmind's whois my geoip appears correctly, so it could be that one of the amazon servers contains my IP segment in a bl4cklist, how could I fix it or contact someone who can fix it?

In my company we use an IP segment that Amazon blocked. I would like to know if there is information on which geo IP database Amazon uses to be able to contact and see if the information can be updated. Currently I don't use any aws service, only test instances. If the first option is not possible, my second idea could create DNS records and have cloudfront update the geolocation of the IP segment.
