[tor-relays] Please help us find a working alternative to using MaxMind's GeoLite2 databases

Teor,

yeah, I have seen my /25 located in Germany, Netherlands and UK. Really depends how you see it.

Karsten,

all my 78 relays are perfectly located where the physical servers are. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

niftybunny

If you prefer the ownership of the IPs Maxmind is correct with Germany, if you prefer where the actual servers are the new one is correct. Pick your poison :) At least the new one has my new AS, so I am a happy bunny after all.
