Cloudflare does serve me from France. When I'm in Australia. (My ISP bought some IP addresses that were original regional France, back in the early 90s.)

So though this does have implications, the assumptions they utilise, like always, are not universal.

CLoudflare uses anycast, and IP geo location is not how anycast works.

Wow doesn't that make things really slow due to the RTT of the acknowledgements?
