Hi,
in the past I had already written with someone about it. At that time the entries were not up to date. There was a Gitlab issue about this, but I can't find it now.
Anyway, the data is not up to date again.
Example: https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/query?searchtext=89.58.17.76 vs https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/6A0A9C3B3381C89CCB85C64BBCF69...
The IP address is currently located in Austria. But in the metrics Germany is displayed. This is a "correct" but outdated information.
Since I don't know if this can have any effects on the routing, which I don't assume, but is theoretically possible, I just want to target it again.

Yes, we realized that the GeoIP db needs an update again[1]. However there is currently no newer version available[2] it seems. :(

The issue is not the version of libloc. The problem resides in an outdated local database. The library and binaries are not the same project/build as the database project[1], which gets updated daily. The database is not being updated for Tor.
If you check the current lookup for the mentioned IP[2], it results in: - Network: 89.58.16.0/22 - Announced by: AS197540 - netcup GmbH - Country: Austria This seems to be correct, like Martin said it should be.

Yes, that is correct.
What surprises me, it was correct a few days.

Hey Valters,
We run the update command daily and sync the data from it.
See: https://man-pages.ipfire.org/libloc/location.html
As far as I understand this should update the local DB.
Are we overlooking something?

location version Mon, 24 Jan 2022 06:02:28 GMT
location lookup 89.58.17.76 89.58.17.76: Network : 89.58.16.0/22 Country : Germany Autonomous System : AS197540 - netcup GmbH
According to the ipfire devs the webservice at https://location.ipfire.org/lookup/89.58.17.76 does not update the db daily, since it uses the db version when the service started.
So if you are using a daily updated version everything should fine on your side.
The remaining questions (why does it believe it is DE vs AT) is a question for the ipfire devs.
@Martin: I can recommend their mailing list: https://lists.ipfire.org/mailman/listinfo/location
kind regards, nusenu
The problem has now been solved.
