15 exit nodes in the kyrgyz republic hospital area alone? Can that be correct?
- wfn 14y agoPerhaps simply multiple network interfaces / assigned IP addresses - all could actually reside in the same physical machine. (That's probably not good practice Tor-wise, of course - the nodes should be as dispersed as possible..) edit now that I think about it, placing Tor exits in a hospital area might be a clever tactic to avoid them being raided (e.g. to freeze memory and attempt to extract some data about other nodes etc)..

- codesuela 14y agoThats just an error, if you check the IPs they all belong to EuroVPS who in turn seem to lease their lines from Leaseweb(Netherlands). Maybe Eurovps office used to be in Kyrgyzstan and the whois data was stale at the time this was mapped. (e.g. http://whois.domaintools.com/77.235.32.0 http://whois.domaintools.com/77.235.32.0) Same thing for the one in Almaty, Kazakhstan which is actually located in Belgium (http://whois.domaintools.com/89.106.244.21 http://whois.domaintools.com/89.106.244.21). Another example 46.37.160.114 maps to Vladivostok, but it actually belongs to BurstNET London.
- kl0nk 14y agoIP geolocalisation sucks badly. For example OVH got only 1 DC (well to be precise one big room) in Paris. Kimsufi are hosted in their DC in Roubaix (north of France). They also got another one located in the east (near Strasbourg). You can also buy an IP located in somewhere else in Europe but linked to your server in Roubaix.
- X-Istence 14y agoI'm with OVH, and I have various IP's with them. Some Geo-IP to the US, some Geo-IP to Canada ... always fun :-)
