No problems with ZA Free blocking everything, and the general/tcp test was killed.

The strange thing is the test site is in germany = de and i'm not in the USA, so why does it show and ask if i'm located in california ?

Are you using a proxy ?
If so....which one in case it would help with your question ?

 

Hi Bubba thanks for responding.

No proxy, and it was definately my IP that they showed, and i watched the port scans occuring in ZA, so that's what's puzzling me ? I can't think they could be having such constant errors with the locations, otherwise they would have been alerted to it by now by someone.

I await further insight into what is, or could be happening here !

TIA

I confirm that it gives incorrect information. My location shows exactly like yours and it DEFINITELY is not the same (northern Italy here).

 

Hi TNT

Well that's a relief, so it's not just me the're doing a man in the middle attack on. Only joking !

Thanks for doing the test

i live on the opposite coast

 

So now WSFuser as well as TNT and myself get false locations shown with the test ? How strange ! Anyway that clears up why it happens, it's something on their end. What the actual problem is though we don't know.

Well we know where were we are even if they don't lol.


StevieO

 

They say I live in Australia Just on the opposite side of the world and on another hemisphere, but they were so close

its good now hackers wont know your exact location

 

After reading the previous posts, I couldn't resist, just had to see what planet they thought I was on.

Actually, in my case they didn't do too bad, only about 60 miles off. And of course it's possible that, while my provider's headquartered right here in town, their main servers are physically located out of town.
