Hello, Wilfred!

Which service, exactly? I've used ip-api.com, but most of those services rely 
on whois information whenever available.
Give me the website of any service with a free API and I'll use it if you think 
it's more accurate.

My current home IP address in Moscow resolves to the UK, but it's configured on 
a Mikrotik router in Germany and used for VPN connections from Russia.
No one knows that.

 WV> 23+3=26. Still a lot more then the 12 that are in the nodelist!?

Sure, because many data centers are located in the Netherlands and those nodes 
are hosted there.

 WV> Can you list the nodes your software finds located in the Netherlands?

What for?

Best regards,
             dp.
