I spun up a droplet in SF02. The IP address assigned to that droplet is seen as being in Toronto Canada. I expected, and hoped, that it would have been seen as being in the United States.
Is there a reason for this?
Is there anything that can be done to ensure the IP address is “located” within the United States?
