ANSWERED Connected server showing totally different location

[Baryshnikov 2]

Good afternoon - I'm on my 2nd day of a 3 day trial after leaving ExpressVPN for their questionable behavior and ethcis choices of late. I've setup up my router (Asus RT-AX86U running the latest Merlin firmware) to use AirVPN_US-LosAngeles_Sabik_UDP-443.ovpn. No problem at all with usage, just wondering why both ipleak.net & speedtest.net both show the exit node as being in the Central time zone, and speedtest.net shows the exit location as Wichita, KS.

I think the time zone information stems straight from the geolocation error. The latencies hint much more at somewhere around Los Angeles and Phoenix (server info page > Latency from locations, both near 0 ms).
For why IPLeak and Ookla show the same, they might be using the same geolocation provider with this wrong entry. Have a look at other providers like ip-api.com and others you find when searching the net for "ip geolocation api".

Thanks so much OpenSourcerer. ip-api.com is mighty fast too!
