Hello,

I have a Tor relay in Japan with the IP of 198.13.48.219, but it's being marked as being in the US.


It's marked in the US in IPFire and Tor:

- https://www.ipfire.org/projects/location/lookup/198.13.48.219
- https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/CFCDF9E03DCEBB3028E8BD61E5CB5534D6D659D7

Fixed in https://git.ipfire.org/?p=location/location-database.git;a=commit;h=cc2cdbb6baa6424a3761c50e1cf0e04f43341ce3.

This change will be incorporated in the location database generated tomorrow. Should you run IPFire (which updates the location database on a weekly interval), you will receive this change in 8 days at the latest.

We are currently striving for a more sustainable solution to this problem (inaccurate geolocation information for ARIN networks).
