Hey,
If you can do a traceroute and WHOIS on your IP address that shows the
correct country you should file a bug report at the IPFire location
database. I came up with a similar problem a couple of weeks ago and
asked the same question. Mine is showing NL instead of JP while the ip
is clearly from Japan according to WHOIS and a traceroute.
Here's mine: https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13971
You should file a bug report, mine is still not assigned. If you're
lucky you will get a fast response...
Kind regards,
Dennis Bronk.
