This should be fixed if the owner of the server updates to 5.3

Thanks. I had tried on a few servers, with the same result. Today I went through all servers that are available to me and only the Tokyo, Japan (A573) returned my ISP (as Charter Communications Inc, US). I guess the other servers are in need of the update.

Thanks!

This issue persists, in fact now the Tokyo, Japan (A573) which was previously working now returns the same "Unknown ISP" status.

While I appreciate that servers need to be updated to version 5.3 (or higher), the version is not displayed in the UI, so this information is not user-facing.

So, is it possible for a user to determine the version in use on a specific instance, and is it certain that this issue was corrected in version 5.3 and beyond?

Thanks! 🙂

Sorry to tell you that I can't reproduce. When I use the Tokyo server it shows the correct result for my IP address

Interesting, and thanks for looking into this. Here are the results that I get:

The Tokyo server used to identify my ISP as Charter Communication, but now I get unknown ISP, as with all the other LibreSpeed servers.

I've tested the IPINFO API, using IPINFO.IO and it returns the correct ASN. Could the API key be corrupt, or is a 429 error being returned due to too many requests?
