I was wondering if there are Tether server locations in Virginia.

Tether works fine for me (I'm in California) but I logged into my Gmail today and it notified me that someone had logged in from Virginia 3 days ago. It gave the entry "United States (VA) (serverpronto.com:65.111.172.183)"

I tried to think if I had given out my email anywhere but the only thing I could think of is that I did access my email through tether 3 days ago. I wanted to make sure perhaps this is the reason why Gmail said someone had logged into my account. To my knowledge tether sends information to a server which then sends website information to my phone, thus allowing tethering through their private servers. Can someone please help me with this? Thank you!

I am unsure of all the locations of our servers but it is likely that the location shown was because you were using Tether.

I will try to get you a definitive answer.

Autobot - please confirm when you have a chance

Albert - I'm so glad that I found your thread. I tether on 8/18 and received the same message when I logged into my gmail account. I couldn't figure out what caused it, but I'm hopeful that it was because I was using tether.

Your traffic doesn't go through Tether's servers. It goes through RIM's servers. RIM has their own servers as well as some leased servers. That IP is in the range of a couple that I've gone through.

As far as I have always been told our info does go through the RIM stuff and not a server.
Also, I have found, unfortunetly I may add, that you have to be ABSOLUTELY sure that any and all login sites that you use are https:// and not just http://
I found this out the hard way that not all site automatically sign you in as "secure."
I had all sorts of things showing up from all over the place on a few different emails and also facebook. Which I might add was the worst for this, untill I got a different login page.
Gmail was one I was NOT having trouble with though.
I am not sure if this will help or if was at all what you were looking for but just my 2 cents. :o)
Good Luck
