But there are big problems with mapping from IPs to countries. My IPv6 is detected as Russian, though it is London-located tunnel exit point and I'm in the Neth

- zelon88 2y agoSounds like an issue with an outdated locally hosted IP2 Location database.
- blacklion 2y agoGoogle thinks it is in Russia too. And Cloudflare thinks the same.
- liveoneggs 2y agomaybe you actually have a MITM proxy stealing all of your traffic and keystrokes
- blacklion 2y agoMITM for HTTPS? I don't think so!
- lillecarl 2y agoIf it's Hurricane Electrics tunnel I've had similiar issues, I think they use Russian blocks for their IPv6 tunnel since the abuse potential is so high and they don't want to deal with it so they just bundle all their shit with Russia and move on.
- blacklion 2y agoYep, it is HE tunnel. Nice to know that I'm not alone.
- raxxorraxor 2y agoSounds more like IP isn't a reliable factor to determine location. Not that this would be bad though.
- rvba 2y agoIf it is a tunnel, then it might have been used by someone else before. Those "London oblast" jokes don't come from nowhere.
- Aloisius 2y agoIf your HE tunnelbroker account's country is set to Russia, you'll show up as from Russia for Google since HE publishes a geofeed of ip range -> user account country for them.[1] You should be able to change it on the settings page.[2] If that's not it, you an see which database maps your IPv6 range to Russia and contact them to ask them to change it.[3] Of course, if you have accounts with a Russian addresses, then things will revert.
