Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is IP geolocation?
IP geolocation is typically 95-99% accurate at the country level and 50-80% accurate at the city level. Accuracy depends on the quality of ISP databases and can be affected by VPNs, proxies, and cloud hosting services that route traffic through different locations.
Can I detect VPNs or proxy servers?
This tool shows the location based on the IP address detected, which may be a VPN or proxy server's location rather than the user's actual location. Specialized services are required to specifically identify VPN, proxy, or Tor traffic.
What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses?
IPv4 addresses are the traditional format (e.g., 8.8.8.8) with 32-bit addressing, while IPv6 is the newer format (e.g., 2001:4860:4860::8888) with 128-bit addressing. This tool currently supports IPv4 addresses and domain name resolution.
Why does hostname resolution show different location than expected?
Large services like Google, AWS, or Cloudflare use Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and load balancers distributed worldwide. When you lookup a hostname, it may resolve to the nearest server, which could be in a different country than the company's headquarters.
Is my IP address private information?
Your public IP address is visible to websites you visit and is used for communication. This tool only shows public IP geolocation data from ISP databases. Private IP addresses (like 192.168.x.x used in home networks) cannot be geolocated and are not tracked by this tool.
How does IP-to-location mapping work?
IP addresses are assigned in blocks to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and organizations. Geolocation databases maintain mappings of IP blocks to geographic locations based on ISP registration data. This tool uses the ip-api.com service, which aggregates this data to provide location information.
