The link shows the owner of the AS, not the location of the servers.
The IP address itself belongs to an AS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system_(Internet) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system_(Internet)) that belongs to a Russian hosting company, and we have a long term rent contract on this subnet (with a purchase option), and we'll eventually acquire it.
To check where it really leads you should see the output of `traceroute 176.103.130.130`. However, this is also not the best option because AG DNS uses anycast (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anycast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anycast), and the route depends on your location.
- vatueil 7y agoIIRC traceroute was how I originally looked it up locally. I posted the link for convenience. Perhaps I misinterpreted the results, though. I'll have to take your word for it that the Russian IP address you use does not mean you have a server there. Thanks for the explanation.
