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 :)

    Thanks for the details ! I’ll check manually until I got an answer from /e/os. But it really seems to be a non problem that happens quite often.
