In internet my ip is shown it's from Japan!!!

Hi,

I am facing a stupid problem. I am from India, and have a 10 mbps cable connection (Static IP).

Today I tried to activate my copy of far cry 4 in uplay (I preordered it and got it yesterday) and it says activation code is locked to another region.
I opened origin and everything is in japanese.

Now this is the problem. When I start to lookup my ip in internet it says my ip is from japan. Start with 43. When in reality my ip starts with 172 and it's from India. I tried to activate my game with my mobiles internet connection and it activated fine.

ipconfig gives my real ip address. Even when I try to disable all my security software it still shows my ip address is in Japan.

Any idea what's going on? 🙁

Do not post your complete ip but what is after the 172. -------172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255 are private addresses so if it is in that range your ISP is doing a NAT.

The only other way things like that happen is if you have a vpn or a proxy setup.

It is 172.16 so I think you are right. I need to have a chat with my ISP tomorrow.

I don't use VPN or proxy.

Thank you for answering.
