Surely not, its located where his hardware located so if he put it in Hetzner FSN Datacentre so my server is in Germany and Germans will get good ping to it and the IP will remains in AQ until my friend changes the IP's country or he sells the ASN to somebody else so the new owner will be able to change the country again.
You've got me very intrigued here! So far I've always thought that an IP can only be tied to a single network. If that network is located in Phoenix US you can't change it to anywhere else. Is it possible to provide an explanation of where the above Antarctica IP was changed? I.e. can you provide a link of where one does it?
Also, I can't see the sense of changing an IP to Antarctica if you're with a German Data Center, other than wanting to hide the IP. That's not what this thread is about. It's about genuine IP with genuine location.
