Understanding IP Geolocation
Every device connected to the internet has a public IP address assigned by its ISP. This address can be mapped to an approximate physical location using geolocation databases.
Accuracy: IP geolocation is typically accurate to the city level. It cannot pinpoint a street address — it estimates based on ISP routing data.
VPN detection: If you're using a VPN, the tool will show the VPN server's location instead of your real location. This is a great way to verify your VPN is working correctly.
Privacy: This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your IP is sent to a third-party geolocation API for lookup, but we never store, log, or track your IP address on our servers.
