We have seen more than once that the same proxy on three different checking sites shows different GEO IPs. And this is not a problem of the proxy, it is a problem of the resource where you check GEO.
We only sell our own server proxies. And we ourselves register their belonging to this or that country. There are several organizations which are engaged in the distribution of IP by country:
- AFRINIC (Africa) — www.afrinic.net — whois.afrinic.net
- APNIC (Asia Pacific) — www.apnic.net — whois.apnic.net
- ARIN (North America) — www.arin.net — whois.arin.net
- LACNIC (Latin America and the Carribean) — www.lacnic.net — whois.lacnic.net
- Europe — www.ripe.net
Every GEO IP service should regularly update their data from these resources. But the problem is that most of these services get this information from different sources and at different intervals. Some services update their GEO bases regularly, while others do not do it for years. We are not able to answer for such services.
To check the GEO, we recommend using the service www.ripe.net, this resource frequently updates its geo-bases (updates bases from 5 regional Internet registrars), its data is closest to reality.
