       I like this plugin in my browser which shows the physical nationality of the server from a website I am visiting as well as other information.Who knew a russian illegal book hosting site would be hosted in Netherlands :blobcatgooglyshrug:

       @mur2501 I suspect it only shows you what country owns the IP address end point, not necessarily the server or data?

       @freemo Actually it shows the location of the server our browser is communicating with for a website.As well as the country where the domain is owned.

       @mur2501 @freemo Interesting, what's the name of the plugin? I agree with @freemo, it's more likely to be the IP ownership of the provider. If you are lucky the provider might have allocated a specific IP range to a given data centre. I can't see how it would resolve that info when the server(s) are behind a proxy or using a VPN for that matter.

       @chrism @mur2501 Load balancers are common and can often be cross-country

       There are no computers in Russia so they rent servers abroad.

       @freemo @mur2501 Indeed! That's what I was eluding to. One particular client I was responsible for in my last job insisted on having multiple servers and multiple load-balanced reverse proxies in different data centres for performance and resilience reasons.Thankfully I'm now retired and don't need to look after it anymore. :blobangel:
