Hi, cool idea with the geolocation via latency. But I encountered 2 things using ipinfo: Hetzner Server that are in Germany in a fixed location that never moved are sometimes located in another country, for me it was once s Server placed into Moscow and once in South America. How does this happen? |

I guess it is because of IPv4 trading or IP address shuffling.
As far as I know, Hertzer, like many hosting companies, is buying IPv4 addresses around the world. Here is an article on the IPv4 trades:

When a company buys an IP address block or relocates an IP block from one of its data centers to another, the location of those IP addresses changes.
If your IP address is static, but we have made an error in geolocation, I would love to take a closer look. You can email our support (support@ipinfo.io) and send a link to the comment. We can discuss it further from there.
