It made it a pain to schedule an IoTdir dinner in Chicago—I kept getting redirected to sites with similar names in Seoul. I am embarrassed at how long it took me to realize that I could just use my phone's tethering capability to solve the problem. That said, the artifact you are talking about actually happened to me in Chicago, because I was "in Seoul" as far as (some) geolocation services were concerned. The way to prevent this behavior when in a foreign country is to use a VPN; this should work just fine from the IETF network, if not from the hotel network. Of course, even better would be if geolocation information could be overridden from the browser; I'm not aware of such a possibility that actually generally works, however. |
