Curious about the Canadian servers

[Wendy1]

Hello,

When I want to use a Canadian server, it rarely is where it says it is. Sometimes the server is in New York, United Kingdom, or just says United States. If I keep trying I can get Calgary, Alberta, which is not one of the server locations. Does anyone know why this happens? Just a curiosity question, so no rush :)

Hello @Wendy1

Different geolocation databases can take a while to sync. As you've done is the way to do it if you really need it to show your local location.

Personally I find that a good thing in many cases as it helps improve your privacy just a little for some sites
