IP Information from Alerts - Results vary from other IP lookup services.

Hi, when checking alerts on customer environments, I see a few times, if I have an impossible travel alert, that the offending IP address might resolve to one location in the Graph API, but if I check the same IP address in for example IPInfo.io to see who the provider is, the location does not correspond.

 

Microsoft may show it as US while IPInfo shows it as Sweden, if I check other similar services, they most agree with IPInfo's result. 

 

The offending IP may be a VPN service, and this is why I see these diffferences? 

Anyone else see similar?
