So, how do you identify where an IP address is used?

Excuse the briefness of this mail, it was sent from a mobile device.

It identifys where you told it you are. It doesn't tell Netflix that your
v4 endpoint is in New Zeland and you are watching a bunch of content you
are not supposed to have access to.

Is this really that hard to understand?

Contrary to your repeated assertions, HE tunnels are NOT anonymous.

HE operates a perfectly fine RWHOIS server that provides sufficient
information about each tunnel that it cannot be considered
anonymous.

Unless that information is verified, it is effectively anonymous.  I
had an HE tunnel years ago, and the only verified information was my
email address.
