Hi, in the past I had already written with someone about it. At that time the entries were not up to date. There was a Gitlab issue about this, but I can't find it now. Anyway, the data is not up to date again. Example: https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/query?searchtext=89.58.17.76 vs https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/6A0A9C3B3381C89CCB85C64BBCF69... The IP address is currently located in Austria. But in the metrics Germany is displayed. This is a "correct" but outdated information. Since I don't know if this can have any effects on the routing, which I don't assume, but is theoretically possible, I just want to target it again.

Yes, we realized that the GeoIP db needs an update again[1]. However there is currently no newer version available[2] it seems. :( Georg [1] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/metrics/relay-search/-/issu... [2] https://source.ipfire.org/releases/libloc

The issue is not the version of libloc. The problem resides in an outdated local database. The library and binaries are not the same project/build as the database project[1], which gets updated daily. The database is not being updated for Tor. If you check the current lookup for the mentioned IP[2], it results in: - Network: 89.58.16.0/22 - Announced by: AS197540 - netcup GmbH - Country: Austria This seems to be correct, like Martin said it should be.

Yes, that is correct. What surprises me, it was correct a few days.

Hey Valters, We run the update command daily and sync the data from it. See: https://man-pages.ipfire.org/libloc/location.html As far as I understand this should update the local DB. Are we overlooking something? Cheers, -hiro

location version Mon, 24 Jan 2022 06:02:28 GMT location lookup 89.58.17.76 89.58.17.76: Network : 89.58.16.0/22 Country : Germany Autonomous System : AS197540 - netcup GmbH According to the ipfire devs the webservice at https://location.ipfire.org/lookup/89.58.17.76 does not update the db daily, since it uses the db version when the service started. So if you are using a daily updated version everything should fine on your side. The remaining questions (why does it believe it is DE vs AT) is a question for the ipfire devs. @Martin: I can recommend their mailing list: https://lists.ipfire.org/mailman/listinfo/location kind regards, nusenu -- https://nusenu.github.io

The problem has now been solved. https://lists.ipfire.org/pipermail/location/2022-February/000523.html On 1/24/22 18:31, nusenu wrote:
