I tried to use a service that required me to be in the US and rejected me because it thought that I was in (IIRC) the UK. I think the fundamental problem is that there are multiple ways that they can get what they think is the location, and one of those ways is to do a WHOIS and look at the country. For the IETF meeting network, that’s almost guaranteed to be the wrong answer (but apparently not what the above service was using). This is a bigger problem than it used to be. Some websites (such as my small city’s weekly newspaper) are disallowing access from Europe so that they don’t need to deal with GDPR. I just stay prepared to jump on my home VPN, but that’s not a very elegant solution. -Jim
