Howdy! I recently created a new server in Singapore, but for whatever reason it has been classified as “europe gr”. Hopefully someone can get it classified correctly.

Thanks!

I think the proper channel for such requests is to write an email to [server-owner-help@ntppool.org](mailto:server-owner-help@ntppool.org)

The support email did not respond well. Back in June I requested the removal of my weak server out of tw zone, but did not get a reply. After a month I had the removal done by posting [here](https://community.ntppool.org/t/adding-servers-to-the-china-zone/88/156?u=alica)…

Yeah, I’ve emailed and haven’t heard anything back. Dunno what else to do.

Maybe kindly ask @ask to look into it for you.

I’ve emailed, I’ve messaged, and I’ve posted here… pretty sure I’ve covered the bases of asking ask.

Did you email ask directly at: [ask@develooper.com](mailto:ask@develooper.com)

He must be really busy right now, have some person thing going on, or have limited internet as he is usually always on top of things here.

Yeah, kinda makes me wonder if he shouldn’t nominate a #2 or something. Maybe there is one. Seems like a big bit of infrastructure to hinge on one person.

Hi @iocc,

Could you also please move [https://www.ntppool.org/scores/165.22.96.232](https://www.ntppool.org/scores/165.22.96.232) to [@](https://www.ntppool.org/zone/@) [asia](https://www.ntppool.org/zone/asia) [sg](https://www.ntppool.org/zone/sg), too?

I sent an email to [server-owner-help@ntppool.org](mailto:server-owner-help@ntppool.org) two days ago, but no change, and I’m loath to pester Ask.

Thanks,

—Brian

Hi @iocc and @elljay,  
Seemingly the IPv4 address of the servers [https://www.ntppool.org/user/takerukoushirou](https://www.ntppool.org/user/takerukoushirou) are incorrectly categorized to be in Switzerland (ch) instead of France (fr). Both geoip and traceroute shows that the servers are located in France. I have inter-country packet delays (\> 20ms) from Switzerland. The IPv6 addresses are correctly categorized to be in France. Since these servers are not mine, you may wish to check with the owner.

Hi, agreed - doesn’t look right. I’ll change them from CH to FR…
