USB2.0Adapter 0 Posted ... Hi,I don't know if this is a problem.I am in Canada.I set the vpn IP of my tomato router for Persei in Fremont, California. My AirVPN staus shows that I am indeed connected to Persei.However, when checking my IP with whatsmyip.org, or checking speed with speedtest.net, it shows the IP address as having been incremented by one, from .162 to .163, and shows that I am connecting from Amsterdam, Holland. What is happening here? Is this a concern? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post

Well Persei is on Swiftway, and they only use RIPE IP's even in the US locations so that's the reason you see NL as the country.It's quite an issue in case of Maxmind, they don't like to change countries and IPs from different RIRs unless you ask them directly.94.100.0.0/16 is RIPE Europe, so that's the issue, and in order to get the US flag they need to be from ARIN. Air promises to deliver the VPN servers -physically- in those countries/cities, and afaik they do their best to keep the geolocation IPs in shape,but they can't really do nothing with cases like this. The server is physically in Fremont anyway: traceroute to persei.airvpn.org (94.100.23.162), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets 1 10.4.0.1 (10.4.0.1) 97.062 ms 95.114 ms 94.502 ms 2 * * * 3 * ae2.mpr1.fra4.de.above.net (94.31.40.213) 111.069 ms 113.873 ms 4 30gigabitethernet4-3.core1.fra1.he.net (80.81.192.172) 113.996 ms 114.936 ms 111.680 ms 5 100ge5-2.core1.par2.he.net (72.52.92.13) 128.446 ms 142.723 ms 122.183 ms 6 10ge15-1.core1.ash1.he.net (184.105.213.93) 259.781 ms 262.394 ms 266.976 ms 7 10ge9-2.core1.pao1.he.net (184.105.213.177) 332.572 ms 333.419 ms 331.173 ms 8 10ge4-4.core3.fmt2.he.net (184.105.222.89) 327.741 ms 340.192 ms 333.438 ms 9 swiftway-2.10gigabitethernet2-3.core1.fmt2.he.net (66.160.172.118) 330.265 ms 329.520 ms 330.735 ms10 * * * Why don't you connect to Heze?
