What's wrong with geolocation here?
Hey y'all, Just wanted to let you guys know that r3bo0tbx1 already reached out to me personally with the solution. I filed a bug report at the IPFire location database. Thanks. Kind regards, Dennis Bronk. On 5/13/26 16:39, Dennis Bronk via tor-relays wrote:
Hey all,
Can someone explain me what's going wrong here? Tor metrics says my node is located in the Netherlands, however when I do a whois on my IP it says it's located in Tokyo, Japan (which it should be).
See the following links for what I mean.

Kind regards,

Hi Dennis, Tor uses the IPFire Location database for geolocation, not WHOIS. Yours is confirmed wrong: $ dig +short TXT 25.201.180.38.cc.location.ipfire.org "NL" File a bug report at https://bugzilla.ipfire.org with: Product: Location Database Component: Database Summary: IP range resolves to incorrect location - Tor Metrics (NL instead of JP) Attach your WHOIS output for 38.180.201.25 and a traceroute showing the last hops landing in Japan. The more evidence the better. Once they fix the DB, Tor metrics will update within a few days. Cheers! - rE-Bo0t.bx1 (relays.brokenbotnet.com) On 5/13/26 11:39 PM, Dennis Bronk via tor-relays wrote:
