Hi Valiant
I just wanted to verify with you that you are indeed selecting "South Africa North" when creating the specific IP?
I did the same test with both VM and a NAT gateway and seems to be getting a correct result.
And when you select the region it should be connected to that specific datacenter for many technical purposes and functions.
If you have verified that the public IP specific resource is in South Africa and it still shows up as US i would probably set a support ticket to Microsoft to se what's going on withing your Azure environment.
Hope this is helpful and remember shared knowledge is the best knowledge 😊
Best Regards,
Timmy Malmgren
