I think something is broken with @Facebook, considering all their services seem to think I'm in Shanghai. Only noticed because the @OculusSupport / @oculus website comes up in Chinese. Not on a VPN. Something fucking weird going on.
Forgot the screenshot
I suspect that their IP address geolocation database is out of date, because the IP address for the sessions definitely matches my IP
So far, advice from @oculus has included:
- contacting my ISP (Hi @HyperopticCS - I'm 99.9% sure it's not your problem)
- Changing my PUBLIC (and static) IP address by running IPCONFIG /renew on my windows PC (seriously....)
Every whois I've checked for my IP has the correct location, so it's definitely on FB's side
Interesting thread here suggests that @Facebook need to update their geolocation database. As I have suspected all along....
