Reporting incorrect locations
Hi RIPE Atlas folks, Is there somewhere we can go to report a suspected incorrect location of an Atlas probe? This probe: https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/16578/ Is marked as in China, but is clearly in Australia. I couldn’t see anywhere I should report this. Marty

Hi, Thanks for reporting! I reached out to the probe host who was very responsive and updated the location. We plan to introduce a more pro-active approach when the probe seems to have changed AS: in these cases there's a good change the location of the probe changed as well. Regards, Robert
This one is weird, fresh probe, both network and set location are in Norway, but the probe shows up as in the UK: https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/28320/#!tab-network On 8 December 2016 at 09:41, Robert Kisteleki <robert@ripe.net> wrote:

Hi, Thanks you for pointing it out. We have found a path involving a combination of ambassadors, probe application and probe registration where the country field is not properly added to the probe. That is a bug and it's highly likely the cause of this case. We're fixing this right now. In the meantime, whenever the host (more precisely) geolocates the probe, all fields are properly updated so that's also a viable way to fix this.
