The same happens for download.epicgames.com that also uses Amazon Cloudfront

    Not it is geolocated to Marseille. Is the issue on the NextDNS or Cloudfront side?

    This server IP is correctly geo-located in London. It is probably an error in cloudfront geo db.

    I'm not sure why you mentioned Marseille, are you geo located in Marseille but steered to London by us and in turn steered to a Helsinki by Cloudfront?

    Apologies, I should have spelled *Now* it is geolocated to Marseille.

    Let me clarify. I am steered correctly to the London NextDNS server. But Cloudfront believes zepto-lon is somewhere in France and gives out a Marseille IP address.

    Both anexia-lon and vultr-lon are fine and correctly return London IP addresses for the same hostname.
