Strange Readings on IP/DNS Detect

[Philiberti 9]

Hi,

    I'm a UK based member who has just connected to Phaet in the Netherlands. However, when I run IP/DNS check it shows the correct IP address for Phaet but shows the UK as server country (see attachment below). This is something unique to IP/DNS Detect as checking with DNS Leak Test shows correct IP address and country.

Can anyone explain this behaviour and does it pose any threat to revealing my true IP address?

 

Cheers

Hello,

 

yes, this an error in MaxMind database (the database for geo-location based on IP address that we use for ipleak.net).

 

Please see here for more details about this error:

We have done everything to have it fixed on MaxMind, Now it's up to them.
