Portmaster's Geolocator is showing the wrong country

Opened this issue · 1 comments

What happened:

Portmaster is displaying the wrong country via. its geolocator (Oman instead of Germany).
This is probably related to Frankfurt and some random city in Oman is sharing the same IPv4 range.

What did you expect to happen?:

It should display Germany because that is more near to my current position and
that would make more sense to display because the Google Server is probably located
near my position and not in some random country.

I'm not sure why whatismyipaddress.com is showing correct country.
Maybe there are some differences in the database each geolocator is using.

How did you reproduce it?:
