Hi, I was messing with rethink dns to see what was its possibilities. then I saw this “surprise”. Is this a normal behaviour ? Do we know what it does ? Does anyone has observed this on its phone ?

Edit : got an answer on eOS forum, it confirms what you guys told me :

rethink uses ipinfo lite (db-ip.com before) - their info atm says germany. it’s a hetzner ip anyway. If you trace the network path you’ll see it’s their fsn1 datacenter.

incorrect display of GeoIP data · Issue #2499 · celzero/rethink-app · GitHub

It looks like there could be a bug in how Rethink “searches” IP ranges to geo location… Rethink doesn’t use the mmdb format, but pre-processes the csv (code) to make it “searchable”.

Thank you all for your help :)

    I’m still a bit lost about that. Slazer has bring a potential answer to what could be the reason. I’ll see to post that on /e/os forum this evening if I can, to have an answer from murena.

    Yes microG is talking a lot. That’s not really a surprise, as it mimics google play services. I suppose it talks even more if you have a lot of app that use cloud messaging.
