Maybe check the geo location from one of the affected IP address at

probably the most used service for Geo IP Data.
I checked with maxmind and whatismyip.com (which in itself checks at least two
different databases).
Both report the IP to be in Switzerland.
The funny thing is that https://www.wieistmeineip.de locates this IP in
Germany, too.
I would like to understand how that happens.
Maxmind is publishing an updated list each week, but then it depends on
the platform operator to update their local copy. There is e.g. a daemon
available from maxmind doing this automatically. It could be that some
of the platform operators to not update the list, or not so often. Or
even using a own database, e.g. because they filter out commercial VPN
services.
Somehow it is probably the best to report it directly through the
support channels of this platforms, and also give them links to the
check done at Maxmind and whatismyip. If your clients are customer of
this platforms, then it may be useful to give them all the relevant
details and tell them to forward it to the support.
Best regards,
Fabian
