4. A server answers a ping after 20 milliseconds for the round trip. How far away can it be at most?

8. A location is shown as “compatible”. What does that say?

Answer

Compatible means that no reply ruled the listed country out and the closest reply places the server near it. It is not proof: the server could still stand just across the border.

Answer

7 of the 7 incompatible locations are marked virtual in the provider's own list.
