I was looking the details of Casinotropez.com site and they have the IP in Bouvet Island and the DNS in Virginia-USA. How can they do it? The whois display the following info: Server Data Server Type: Apache IP Address: 64.69.80.82 IP Location Bouvet Island - Bouvet Island - Easymanaged Response Code: 200 Blacklist Status: Clear Domain Status: Registered And Active Website Domain servers in listed order: UDNS1.ULTRADNS.NET UDNS2.ULTRADNS.NET PDNS3.ULTRADNS.ORG PDNS4.ULTRADNS.ORG PDNS1.ULTRADNS.NET PDNS2.ULTRADNS.NET PDNS5.ULTRADNS.INFO PDNS6.ULTRADNS.CO.UK Where ULTRADNS.NET is in Virginia USA Anyone can explain me?
ok, thanks for your reply. And where is the info located? in USA on Bouvet Island? Because that island is an iceberg, nothing there. Thanks
Hi, The DNS server that a site uses is completely irrelevant to where the server is that actually hosts the web content is located. In fact, it is a good idea to have your DNS servers as geographically dispersed as possible to limit or reduce the impact of outages. The whois data for the IP address may or may not be accurate as it is dependent on what organization registered the net block and if the data has been update in some time. It is not a reliable source of determining where a server is located. Your best bet is to ask the owner of the site where their server is located. You could also try getting a traceroute on the server and see if you can determine the location of one of the last few hops.
Hi, Thanks for all replies. I make a traceroute like you told me but..when it arrive to hop 13 the info dissapear. They have firewall, we can't know where are located.

What are you trying to achieve with this?
Well, I would like to know how they have the IP in Bouvet Island and the server in USA (I don't know if they have it in USA, only suppose). It is a good technic to hide the real info about your server location.
Due to certain laws and regulations you can't have online casinos hosted in US/EU so you need to take it offshore. Naturally, the speed offshore isn't so great, which is why most content like downloads/images is delivered from a server in the US, while keeping the actual core of the site offshore.
Hello I joined this group because i was looking for information about this "mysterious" site with IP on Bouvet Island. I have in my page a counter that registers the visits according to the geographical localisation of the IP, it is a simple image with this address: http://s02.flagcounter.com/count/rzN/bg=FF7F50/txt=000000/border=CCCCCC/columns=3/maxflags=300/viewers=0/labels=1/.jpg I managed to get visits from almost every country of the world. Do you have any idea how i could add a "virtual" visit from Bouvet Island too? I tried to contact the owners of this Casinotropez.com but without success. The address 69.90.74.226 was listed amongst proxies some days ago but it doesnt work. I also looked through tor addresses but unsuccesfuly too... How can they appear as Bouvet Island? May i get somehow this "signal" with my counter? Sorry if i wrote nonsenses i'm not professional Thank you in advance for your help
Well dont know why it doesnt appear but i wrote in my previous post "...that registers the v.i.s.i.t.s according..."
