8 hours agoIt’s probably torrent clients doing a ping test of peers to check latency. Ops VPN server replies to the ping so they look close, even though they’re not.
I can’t imagine a client that would ship an ip2geo db to bother trying to look up locations. Just doesn’t make any sense.
Valid, but it’s run by a group in the UK that runs several of the popular ones. It’s prooooobably not going anywhere.
