Zenaan, I work with big data analytics, implementing traffic analysis and pinpointing the location of servers is a trivial task given a global view. The obvious solution is to make one of those ends invisible ensuring a comparison cannot be made.
Given the scale of this obviousness, I can only assume that you're a sock puppet for an intelligence agency who has started to panic about the network going truly dark. Deal with it.
