Multiple games matchmaking "messes up"?
I have noticed this issue in two separate games that I've played and while it could be just the games themselves the fact that both games have effectively the same problem happens makes me question i...

I will have to get the IDs later tonight when I test it again but this has been ongoing for quite a while and not just a month by month basis which makes me think it is a visual bug in the router or some other explanation needed which is why I ask and why I'm curious how it hasn't been "fixed" if it is a known reason.
The one "peer" is literally in the ocean the west of Africa which is NOT plausible for where I am located and what I am expected to be matched with even with the most unreasonable search parameters.
The other thing I notice is that usually one of the IPs are like 192.xxx.etc which makes me think it is a local IP thing and I question why that is even showing up like it does. The other one is like 10.xxx.etc which is a similar local IP but literally being picked up in Europe or whatever which I know isn't the real location. For example when I ping Google DNS 8.8.8.8 with PingPlotter I can see there are a few 10.xxx.etc IPs inbetween my ISPs IPs that I know are "private IPs" for whatever reason, and while I don't understand the purpose or what my ISP is doing with that I see a similar "peer" show up like that on the map in the random location with a similar IP.
So that's why I'm asking "why" the router is visually showing these things in the Geo-Filter the way they are shown and if they aren't accurate how come it isn't something fixed after such a long time.

The peer off Africa is a visual bug but won't effect anything and the resources to resolve that are not worth the gain. If you get the ID for one of the 10 ones we can take a look
