<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">In Gmail, one can go to
the bottom of the inbox, select details, and see account activity
such as IPs that are logged in and IPs that were recently logged
in. Gmail often - but not always - attempts to connect the IP to
a location like, for example, <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.ip2location.com">www.ip2location.com</a>.<br>
<br>
However, while <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.ip2location">www.ip2location</a> provides the same location
information as from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/">http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/</a>, Gmail often
provides rather strange location data. when using certain USA exit
nodes.<br>
<br>
For example:<br>
<br>
Freeside (76.10.214.53 - New York) identified by Gmail as United
States (CA) (76.10.214.53) <br>
<br>
Ennui (208.75.57.100 - San Francisco) identified by Gmail as
United States (WA) (208.75.57.100) </font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
Virek (76.10.214.89 - New York) </font><font face="Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif">identified by Gmail </font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">as United States (CA)
(76.10.214.89) <br>
<br>
Fejk2 (204.152.222.140 - Nevada) </font><font face="Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif">identified by Gmail </font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">as China (204.152.222.140) <br>
<br>
If you select some USA exit nodes from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/">http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/</a> and check with Gmail you will find
other examples. <br>
<br>
Not all exit nodes are inaccurate but the majority are.<br>
<br>
Why?<br>
