[tor-relays] Re: What's wrong with geolocation here?

["rE-Bo0t.bx1 via tor-relays" <tor-relays@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dennis,

Tor uses the IPFire Location database for geolocation, not WHOIS. Yours is confirmed wrong:

$ dig +short TXT 25.201.180.38.cc.location.ipfire.org
"NL"

File a bug report at https://bugzilla.ipfire.org with:
Product:   Location Database
Component: Database
Summary:   IP range resolves to incorrect location - Tor Metrics (NL instead of JP)

Attach your WHOIS output for 38.180.201.25 and a traceroute showing the last hops landing in Japan. The more evidence the better. Once they fix the DB, Tor metrics will update within a few days.

Cheers!

Hey all,

Can someone explain me what's going wrong here? Tor metrics says my node
is located in the Netherlands, however when I do a whois on my IP it
says it's located in Tokyo, Japan (which it should be).

See the following links for what I mean.

What's up here???

Kind regards,

Dennis Bronk.
