Recently, I'm checking an anonymous ECS record, found out that the ECS IP address sent is from ISP Akamai and not from ISP Viettel.

I continue to do the test with ISP VNPT, then the ECS IP results send the correct ISP VNPT

I check the results from Maxmind

A friend suggested the ECS IP range for ISP Viettel 125.234.51.0/24. I tested it with Google DNS, the results returned the Akamai CDN IP address at ISP Viettel.

Same here, I'm in southern China, and when I use NextDNS to resolve CDN domain names, I often get IP addresses from northern China. If I use a DNS server within China, I get southern IP addresses instead.

  ooapa You should have DNS information when resolving domain names as above to report errors. But, maybe you have to wait a long time, because I reported this bug for more than 2 months but still not fixed!

  ooapa Perhaps I am wrong, because when I used another tool to lookup, it displayed the correct geographical location.

  ooapa Great! I'm still waiting for them to fix the ECS sending the wrong IP address.

Today, I continued to check with the IP 116.100.77.XXX, the ECS sent was 103.84.77.0/24. The network routing to the returned IP is very stable and is not routed far.

Both of these IP addresses are from Viettel ISP.

Then I restarted the modem so that the ISP could change to the new WAN IP address.

Both IP addresses are not the same Viettel ISP, but ECS sends in Ho Chi Minh City location.

Another check with Google DNS.

Recently, I checked and found that the ECS sending IP address has changed from 23.40.76.0/24 to 23.36.145.0/24, but is still under the Akamai ASN.

My company and home both use Viettel, but the 2 IP ranges are different so the ECS IP addresses are also different.

At the company, the IP range ECS sent is from Viettel with the location being Ho Chi Minh City.

At home, the ECS IP address is from Akamai with location in Hanoi. Note, Hau Giang is closest to Ho Chi Minh City.

Please check it out! Thanks!

Recently, I used the VNPT network provider and noticed that the ECS sent the location was also incorrect.

My location is in Ho Chi Minh City, but the IP address in the ECS sent is in Hanoi.

I have verified the IP address with MaxMind and the location information with that IP address matches each other.

Please check it out! Thanks!
