Is lemm.ee hosted in the US? (FediDB info) (fedidb.org)

According to fedidb.org, lemm.ee is hosted in the US. But according to the admins, it is hosted in Finland (https://lemm.ee/post/57870549). Why the discrepancy?

Our servers are all hosted in Finland indeed, but we use Cloudflare for DDoS protection etc. Clients/bots/scripts/etc (like FediDB) don't see our server IP addresses directly, they see Cloudflare IP addresses. FediDB uses the IP address it sees to assume what country the server is in.

The same is true for a bunch of other Lemmy servers as well - a lot of the ones FediDB shows as "United States" are actually hosted in Europe (or elsewhere).

Okay, that makes a lot of sense. I didn't know about Cloudflare, thank you!

I have no idea but I'm assuming something something cloudflair.
