About IP Geolocation
IP Geolocation is the process of mapping an IP address to a real-world geographic location. This technology matches your IP against massive databases maintained by Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) and third-party data providers.
It is commonly used for:
- Content localization (showing correct currency/language)
- Security (detecting logins from unusual locations)
- Digital Rights Management (geo-blocking content)
FAQ
How accurate is IP Geolocation?
IP geolocation is generally accurate to the city level (about 80% reliability). It is rarely accurate to the exact street address or building due to how ISPs distribute IP addresses.
Can I find the exact physical address of an IP?
No. Public IP databases only provide the city, region, and ISP. They do not store private home addresses or names.
Why does my location show the wrong city?
Your ISP may route your traffic through a central data center in a different city. This is common with mobile networks and satellite internet.
Does using a VPN change my IP location?
Yes! Connecting to a VPN server gives you an IP address associated with that server's physical location, effectively changing your virtual location.
What is IP Tracing?
IP Tracing identifies the route data takes to reach an IP address. While it can pinpoint the server location, it cannot identify the individual user.
