Servers showing based in Canada when the actual hosting server is in Australia

Servers showing based in Canada when the actual hosting server is in Australia?

My hosting server location is in Australia, so when I load or ping the website it loads from an Australian server.

When I enabled Cloudflare in my website, it starts showing servers different from Australia, like loading from Canada.

In theory Cloudflare loads the website from the nearest server, so it should load site from any server in Australia, but its loading from Canada why ??

What do you mean it’s showing based in Canada? Where are you finding this information?

I just spun up an EC2 server in Sydney and installed Nginx, and the logs showed Cloudflare pulling from these two ips, which “geolocate” to Adelaide

172.69.162.160
172.69.162.158

So i’m curious what your host is and what you are seeing on your end

my site is hosted in siteground server located in Australia, and IP also shows Australia without Cloudflare,
But After activating Cludflare it shows those IP, which is now showing United States location
104.21.37.94
172.67.206.218
