    OVH has probably listed all their IPs with location France in RIPE DB / WHOIS and even those address with country-specific records in WHOIS will most likely still considered as being French by most GeoIP DBs, simply because they are part of OVH.

    Nevertheless this won't limit IP connectivity. And IP routing (usually) does not use any geo-ip DBs either, i.e. your traffic will take the "best" path.

    Just in case your intention was to circumvent any geo blockings, my personal answer is: No.

  • I've found that it can affect the mirror that's used for updates (when more geographically extreme) and perhaps cause issues if you happen to use country blocking.

    Contact the company that maintains the GeoIP DB, tell them to check your IP range again and update the location according to RIPE data.
