    Exclamation Redirect to Wrong Apt source (US-CN)

    I have a kali server in LA/US.
    IP:107.150.100.X From:American UCloud.

    cat /etc/apt/sources.list
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free


    but when I run "apt-get update". http.kali.org redirect me to CN.

    apt-get update
    Hit:1 http://mirror.hust.edu.cn/kali kali-rolling InRelease


    Is that Http-DNS? How does the server decide my location? IP? Company? Language?Timezone(this setting is Pacific Ocean)? Or any other things? Pls tell me.

    Maybe it's a bug on redirect?

    Thanks for help.


    (It's very important and emerency. Because of the wrong redirect and China Great Firewall(GFW), the update is downloaded in only 16KBps or lower.)
