European server IP addresses

Probably just a naive question: when I use traceroute to see where my data goes on its way to my.1password.eu I just see US servers as destination (at least US IPs).

Is this due to 1Password using AWS? European AWS are hosted in Frankfurt/Germany AFAIK. That's why I thought to see some German IPs ..

Can you explain please?

1Password Version: 1Password X 1.20.0
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Linux Mint 20

    Hi @basurerito!

    I have tried the traceroute command on my machine too, and I was wondering how you were checking for the country exactly? The results I get here are all in Europe.

    Which DNS server/service do you use?

    And how is it configured?

    hmm, yesterday I simply used my smartphone (Network Analyzer Pro) and it shows me the endpoint being in USA (Amazon though).

    Today I re-checked with standard traceroute (TCP mode) and geoiplookup and got the results I expected:

     # traceroute -T my.1password.eu
traceroute to my.1password.eu (18.184.82.35), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

    and

    # geoiplookup my.1password.eu
GeoIP Country Edition: DE, Germany

    So everything is fine, I was simply wrong :-)
