Oh excellent thank you for pointing me to the right place! I'll make sure to create an issue there.

Hi everyone,

If tor's geoip db (which indeed is IPFire) has the wrong country for
your IP, and you want it fixed, the correct place to fill an issue is
on IPFire's bugzilla.
You can see an instance of a previous report here
https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13037 .
It's not very important for the purpose of tor, but you'd be making
one of the only embedable geoip database a little more accurate for
everyone else 😃

I think tor and Tor Project use IPFire's DB for GeoIP lookups, and 
198.13.48.219 shows the following:
Yes, libloc/location is used. I had the same problem with one or two relays 
years ago. This was then fixed by a manual override.

This is currently also the case with 3 of my relays (37.252.255.135 / 
37.252.254.33 / 217.146.2.41)

However, I can't explain why. Because the hoster has a geofeed 
(https://opengeofeed.org/feed/as42473.html) and RIPE also has the correct 
country information.

In any case, it is not so important to me that it is correct in the metrics. 
But it would be nice.

Maybe I'll get round to mentioning it again on the location mailing list soon.

Ahoy, Martin
