royalwebhosting.net / 127.42.0.1 / 82.197.130.20

[Elk Grove Jim]

I subscribe to a webhosting and FTP site called royalwebhosting.net.

 

It has worked great up until last week.  I normally use it to FTP security camera JPG files to.

Today, I noticed a popup from Malwarebytes that said it was blocking that website.

 

When I tried pinging the website, I got this result:

>ping royalwebhosting.net

Pinging royalwebhosting.net [127.42.0.1] with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 82.197.130.20: bytes=32 time=180ms TTL=43

Reply from 82.197.130.20: bytes=32 time=181ms TTL=43

Reply from 82.197.130.20: bytes=32 time=182ms TTL=43

^C

 

I'm confused why the "Reply from" IP address is different than royalwebhosting's address [127.42.0.1].

I know the company is in Germany.  But the 127.42.0.1 address doesn't come back from any country I can find.

I checked the 82.197.130.20 address, and it is on ONE blacklist site, see attachment.

it is odd as:

From here (Argentina) ping to the site you say is pinging to the true IP
