One of my relays is reporting a wrong country and AS Name/Number on the Tor Metrics page. I suspect that the other relays displayed filtering by AS Name have the same problem since all of them belong to the same 255.255.0.0 subnet.
I know precisely where my relay’s data center is, and it’s not the reported country. How can I report the correct location? Browsing Tor’s source it looks to me that it downloads a database from https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb.gz https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb.gz but the link is not working, and it seems that they now require an account in order to access the data. I don’t know if the Metrics page is using the same database.

As you have suspected, this is not a Tor issue but caused by the Maxmind geolocation data. IP addresses change hands between AS and it can take weeks for the database to reflect this.
