    LOL that's funny. I think I did that once and got something out of Europe, I forget what country.

    I'm not really sure why it happens but I wouldn't worry. Those sites probably look at the IP numbers to determine what region the computer is in. Those rules probably don't apply to tethered cell phone connections.

    Sounds like they're doing some serious routing there. I wouldn't want to suggest what it makes me think but when I tether (without tetherberry) it's always returned a logical and local IP address.

    UAE is not even CLOSE to a third world country. Are you kidding me?

    There's more money in Dubai than we could ever hope to see.

    Sorry didn't mean to get everyone panties in a bunch. Sorry. Middle eastern country. It could be italy and I would still be concerned where the ip originated

    what OS are you running?

    Have you tried 5.0.0.140 I think thats where it all started, im not sure if there is a connection or not, but mine used to show Cali, I have to wonder if that 5.0 OS had something in it that did this, I went back to 148/151/167 hybrid and it still goes to the middle east so I don't know...
