Ok, you got us...April Fools 😜! Can you find and solve the riddle?
Remember that DNSBLs provide A records as the main answer, and TXT are just there for (the lulz) support!
...we're reviving and expanding a project that has contributed greatly to securing the Internet over decades: the CBL 🤩
Now reborn as the "Cosmic Blocklist", it's being expanded to allow the listing of IP addresses even in multiple planetary networks across the solar system, by appending the planet name to the actual internet address, thereby taking into account the inevitable existence of multiple internets in the near future! 🪐 ⤵️
Learn more ➡️ https://www.spamhaus.org/resource-hub/spamhaus/spamhaus-cbl-is-reborn-now-interplanetary/
You can look up the status of an IP on another planet via:
<reverse-IP>.<PLANET>.cbl.spamhaus.org.
Try it with your favorite planet! 🪐
With ongoing discussion around a potential sixth Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for outer space allocations, as outlined in: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-li-tiptop-address-space/ …it has become clear that governance of interplanetary IP allocations is no longer hypothetical.
🛰️ Recent incidents involving interference with critical satellite infrastructure demonstrate that space-based threats are no longer theoretical: https://news.satnews.com/2026/02/04/russia-intercepts-europes-key-satellites-placing-nato-satellite-at-risk/

This same company markets itself as a Chinese provider of "residential proxies." These ASNs are registered at RIPE (@ripencc) as assigned to ISPs delivering fibre to UK homes.
One explanation is that this makes proxy traffic appear to originate from genuine residential broadband customers. But it may not necessarily be for malicious purposes. It could be targeting SEO and those who want to "cheat the system" by simulating traffic from a large pool of users for marketing. ⤵️
