Yeah, that pattern happens a lot with IPv4 addresses in Germany and Netherlands in particular, because they "lend" them out to more remote countries like Nigeria, and then take them back a few years later, and the whois databases are always a bit behind. > Is there anything I can/should do about this (I doubt it)?

It should not affect your consensus weight -- that number is made by several vantage points actually making Tor circuits through relays including yours, and those vantage points don't care what the geoip database says about your IP address. --Roger _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
