Hi everyone,
Just did a tracert on vodafone fibre home connection to google.com, here is the result:

C:\Users\demo>tracert google.com

Tracing route to google.com [203.109.178.84]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 1 ms <1 ms <1 ms OpenWrt.lan [192.168.1.1]
2 23 ms 3 ms 2 ms 118-92-27-254.dsl.dyn.ihug.co.nz [118.92.27.254]

4 4 ms 2 ms 2 ms 203-109-178-84.dsl.dyn.ihug.co.nz [203.109.178.8
4]

Trace complete.

Looks like vodafone has got a local google server, can someone confirm this?

I check the ssl certificate of the address https://203.109.178.84/  and it confirms the cert belong to google.com.  So I am just a few hop away from the server? It is just hard for me to believe. I know it is easy to add a middle man on the network and pretend as the real guy. For example, in my home network i have a google dns.

Is the vodafone google server suspicious or just I am too paranoid ...
