I moved a Tor relay to new hardware, keeping the keys. Both old and new server are located in Germany and provided by the same hosting company. After the latest Atlas update, I was surprised to see that the IPv4 address is listed as belonging to an AS in Ukraine. A little more digging returned Guangzhou, China, as the supposed location based on the server's IPv6 address.

A bit off-topic but after updating the client to 0.3.0.10 I noticed that torstatus.rueckgr.at some times reports US based exits which are excluded by my config (ExcludeExitNodes {US}). Not a big deal for me but GeoIP manupulation is a potential attack vector to reveal identities of people who try to avoid certain countries.
