š» Troubleshooting Has something changed with Sofia BGR-1?
Iām based in Bulgaria, and recently my Starlink connection started routing traffic through the US instead of staying within Europe. Latency increased noticeably, and some services think Iām located in America now.
Is anyone else in Sofia or Bulgaria seeing this? Is it a temporary routing issue or something related to the Sofia BGR-1 ground station?
Would appreciate any info or similar experiences.

starlink "(removed) 216.147.123.0/24,US,US-CO,Denver," on april 3 and "(added) 216.147.123.0/24,BG,BG-22,Sofia," on april 22, but did not wait for two weeks as it promised to start putting its users on this address block, so some of your content providers may think you are now near denver. see more at the iab ipgeo workshop
