[tor-relays] EC2 IP vs Region & Does this matter in the Tor network?
Hello,
I'm operating 6 relays in the EC2 where 4/6 claim to be located outside
the US but only 1/6 show up as outside of the US based on the IP address
and report on atlas (https://atlas.torproject.org/#search/relay1org,
don't heckle, I'm getting an idea of pricing and boosting speed over the
next 5 months).
Now, I'm curious if the IP address vs region it's supposedly operating
in matters at all. Will people in the middle east be less likely to
connect to my Tokyo/Singapore based relays because the IP address shows
its in the USA? Or any other issues?
Also, if this does in fact affect the effectiveness of my relays in
those regions, has anyone had experience being able to acquire an IP
from Amazon for other regions? I do not have a support contract, since
I'm paying for this out of my own pocket so I'm unable to contact tech
support. I would be inclined to pay whatever fees it costs to get it
done, if I knew exactly what it is I need to do.
