Yes, they always log the IP's but how exactly they can know "where it comes from"? The IP is owned by European data center so it "comes" from the EU and google knew it for years. But once I used Chrome, google forgot that it's an EU IP which is attached to a server located in the EU and by some magical way it decided the IP (and VPN server) is now located in Russia. What exactly make them think so? Of course it was KGB, aliens and Mossad, but 100% not Chrome which has built-in geo location detector, right?
