Wrong Country information

[hwprinz]

Hello Andy,
I've raised quite some confusion yesterday,
the Tool showed the IP address of a german Company with their Web-Shop as sitting in IRAN..
i was asking the company if they feel ok havin the Company in Germany with a webshop hosted in a questionable Country...
the answer came straight back: our shop is not hosted in IRAN
Crosschecking on other tools and Ripe web pages turned ALL out , the webshop is very well hosted at a service provider in Germany with even quite a brilliant reputation.
So, i don't blame your Tool, but i really need to ask to doublecheck the reliability of the database or Ip checking you're doing with the extension.

please check yourself:

This extension uses an offline database that gets updated once per while. For the current website I get:

Can you share the screenshot. Do you get the same ip address?

(the german flag on the right is from a competitive extension 'flagfox')

I'm not sure why you're seeing an incorrect flag. This extension relies on an offline database, so I should be able to replicate the issue, but I can't. Even in Firefox, I'm getting the correct flag. Could you try reinstalling the extension?

it's meanwhile fixed..... (without doing anything on my end) since i'd opened this up, two updates got loaded and installed ..... i dare to say, something in there fixed it... thanks anyway Andy...
