I filled out the relevant forms at several geolocation services, but while the services themselves updated fairly quickly (for the most part), Echolink seemed to take a lot longer for some reason. Mine's going through VK4 ATM. Will try restarting my proxy server.
Nope, still VK4, but my private proxy is working properly. :)
The issue with using Maxmind is that they generate a database I think every two weeks and then the user has to download those to their server and use it e.g. in this case for sorting the proxylist appropriately. Maybe the downloaded copy is out of date, I can ask about it. How long ago did you update that location info? Restarting the proxy does not change that, it is determined by the server at Echolink.
That should be different for the relay service, I think the geolocation of that is done by AWS using some standard "geo-aware DNS service" that echolink uses. Thus the updating of the location database is done by AWS.
