Can anyone explain why whois on a Debian server gets a
rejection as if
through a proxy server?
Does the Debian command "whois" not connect directly to the
various
databases:
$whois 191.96.36.56

I get a similar but slightly different error message.
tmb@hp-debian:~$ whois 191.96.36.56

Show my ip address says my public IPv4 address is 172.59.137.156.
I do not know where 190.112.52.14 is coming from.
This lookup tool works. https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup
The point is that the Debian default WHOIS does not work. ...and
appears to be directed through a PROXY that is being blocked by RIPE.
Why is a Debian command default setup blocked by RIPE?
