    Flagfox indicates unusual server locations

    I have trouble with Firefox in Ubuntu 11.10 . On every install of Ubuntu I've done since Oneiric came out I would eventually start having this problem: Flagfox would indicate the website's server was in a location I was not expecting. Like it would say virginmobileusa.com's servers were in Germany of US Federal Student Aid's servers were in France. I run Ubuntu 11.10 on a Compaq Presario Laptop. I always have gufw, but I don't really know how to use firewalls in Linux.

    Isn't that the point? Flagfox is doing what its coded to do... indicating the physical location of a webserver!

    You're right.
    Flagfox is doing what it's supposed to do.
