Subject: Accessing whatismyip.com routes my request through

Hello,

I am accessing whatismyip.com from Mauritius.

I notice that my request is sent to 165.22.199.12 (a server hosted in
Netherlands) and then proxied to whatismyip.com.

A reverse lookup on the address returns the DNS
mauritiusams3.netsweeper.com.

The DNS record mauritiusams3.netsweeper.com points to 134.209.139.163.

Can you please tell me why my request to whatismyip.com is being proxied
through 165.22.199.12
