[atlas] Probe on sailboat with Starlink

The nature of teleport oeprations for geostationary operators is that the
IP space an end user will be in is usually in some very mundane RIPE or
APNIC or ARIN /24 that looks like it's located in Miami, or Brussels, or
Cyprus.

This is complicated by the fact that an individual /26 sized block of space
used by a VSAT hub operator for point-to-multipoint contended access c, ku
or ka-band vsat might have terminals in many different countries.

A big portion of my Afghanistan stuff all used to meet the public internet
in either Usingen, Germany or Singapore.
