Hello,

I was testing my ip (I'm using a VPN) and it says:

$ curl -4 ifconfig.co
160.238.38.95
$ curl -4 ifconfig.co/country
Germany

Your website gives the same answer, of course:

But this is neither the correct ASN, nor the correct organization, nor the correct country.

Since it is said the information is provided by maxmind.com, I went to check the IP on their website and it gave me the correct country (FR):
image

So why does the tool give wrong informations based on correct ones ?!

Thanks,
KR,

Another example:

$ curl -4 ifconfig.co 
192.145.81.25
$ curl -4 ifconfig.co/country 
United States

But it isn't USA at all:

$ whois 192.145.81.25 | grep -i country 
country:        BE
