I sporadically visit http://whatismyipaddress.com/ to see what they think my IP address is, to see how tor is working (quite well, thank you). Today, it said I was at 209.239.123.90, & said it was out of Zurich. I did a 'whois 209.239.123.90' from the CLI & it said: NetRange: 209.239.112.0 - 209.239.127.255 CIDR: 209.239.112.0/20 NetName: HSI-2 NetHandle: NET-209-239-112-0-1 Parent: NET209 (NET-209-0-0-0-0) NetType: Direct Allocation OriginAS: AS30083 Organization: Hosting Solutions International, Inc.
