IP Geolocation

[LastGoodNameLeft 0]

UK Server Baiduri geolocates to Romania (Bucharest) whereas UK Server Ceibo IP geolocates to UK (Manchester).

I would have expected either no IP geolocation or correct geolocation but why the inconsistency where one server just gives completely the wrong country and another gives the correct country. Makes it difficult if you are using servers in a country to in effect appear as though you are in that country.

Geolocation error in the database you use. Its location is UK, as expected.

❯ ip-api baiduri.airservers.org
{
 "country"      : "United Kingdom",
 "regionName"   : "England",
 "city"         : "London",
 "zip"          : "",
 "lat"          : 51.5073,
 "lon"          : -0.1277,
 "timezone"     : "Europe/London",
 "isp"          : "M247 Europe SRL",
 "org"          : "AirVPN.org entry server (Baiduri)",
 "as"           : "AS9009 M247 Europe SRL",
 "mobile"       : false,

Can happen. M247's HQ is in Bucharest, maybe something got mixed up at the time of the DB update.

It's widespread error as many sites I visit quote prices in RON (Romanian currency)
