First time ever seeing a IP from Antarctica connect to me whats the likely hood of it actually being a researcher and not just someone being funny with a VPN?
Does any vpn offer connections from Antarctica? I don’t think there are any servers there? Pretty funny if someone is legitimately out there pirating
NordVPN has servers in Antarctica, and many of their addresses start with 45.84.1xx.xxx so I’m tempted to say that’s one of theirs.
It would be a lot funnier if some researcher was bored and was wanting to pirate some content though
Looks like bogus geofeed data by the address owner, the PTR record for this address is exit-03.tor.r0cket.net, so I highly doubt it actually is in Antarctica (also the ping of ~13 ms from Europe is just sus and the host seems to be inside the EU). TLDR: don’t believe everything you see.
That must be a penguin trying to download penguins.of.madagascar.blueray.1080p.mp4
I was in Antarctica in 2012-2013 and pirated a few things. the biggest being the new James Bond. Took me 2 days to do it, but managed too. Then the National Science Foundation got a letter from the MPAA and they traced it back to the fire house. lol. that movie was awesome and everyone at McMurdo Station wanted and got a copy. it spread like wild fire
Maybe it is Santa Claus
Petmyrock, big fan of your torrents. Please keep up with the bdmv, try to create a community where each member have 1 copy of atleast one show’s bdmv
Penguins came for your anime
Windscribe has fake Antarctica.
Man, it could easily be a bored researcher catching up on their tv. Do you blame them?
Probably an IP spoof not vpn
It’s summer down there so all the construction crews etc have just gone to the bases . So possibly a real person
It’s melting already. Not a good thing
Shhhhhhh…
He told the boss it was Linux ISOs!
Imagine being one of those people in the peer list that lives in a country where they don’t need a VPN right now, if I had shit on my network, I’d have bricks in my pants right now
hes probably got tired of looking at the aurora lights
It might not be even be a researcher (despite what most people thinks), there are a ton of maintenance workers, engineers, chefs, store managers, firefighters, etc… If you have Amazon Prime, there is a good documentary “Antarctica: A Year On Ice” that shows this off.
They do indeed have starlink there now.
