| FWIW I get the most hilarious spam and strangest scanners from Netherlands. |

| A lot of European cloud machines geolocate to the Netherlands. A lot of AWS instances use IPs from the Netherlands, although they are running somewhere else. No idea why, but it's a pattern I've observed many times. Get some cloud instance in Europe and it's often going to be geolocated to Amsterdam. |

| ▲ | andix an hour ago | parent [-] | | Sure, but even if a provider peers through Amsterdam it doesn't mean their IPs must be geolocated and registered there. It's probably because of favorable legislation. Also some car entertainment systems with integrated 4G/5G use Dutch IPs. Which leads to the weird situation that I sometimes get dutch radio ads on TuneIn or some websites redirect to the Dutch version. |
