What does this page actually detect?
Your public IP address is the unique number your internet provider hands your modem (or your phone, on mobile data). Every server you contact sees it: it's how the reply finds you. The block above grabs it from ipwho.is (with a fallback to reallyfreegeoip.org) and resolves it against MaxMind-style geolocation databases to estimate where you're connecting from.
The fingerprint block reads what your browser sends to every website you visit: platform, version, screen size, whether scripts and cookies are on. Combined, those values usually pick you out of a crowd of a few thousand visitors. More on that here.
📍 Why your detected location might be wrong
IP geolocation is not GPS. It's a lookup against a database that maps IP blocks to physical addresses, and those mappings are best-guess. A few common reasons the city looks off:
- Mobile data — your phone's IP traces back to your carrier's aggregation point, often in another city or country.
- VPN or proxy — you'll show the exit server's location, not yours. How streaming services spot this.
- Corporate or VPN-by-default networks — university, satellite ISPs, and some routers route through a central NAT.
- Stale database — IP blocks change owners; databases catch up in days or weeks. Read the accuracy guide.

Frequently asked questions
Is this IP lookup safe? Are you logging my address?
The detection runs entirely in your browser — your IP isn't stored on our server (we don't have one for this; everything is static). The lookup is sent to a third-party geolocation API (ipapi.co) which has its own privacy policy. Nothing is written to a database on this side.
Why is the city wrong?
Because IP geolocation isn't GPS. It maps IP blocks to a registered location, and ISPs frequently route traffic through aggregation points dozens of kilometres from the actual subscriber. Mobile is the worst offender — phone IPs often resolve to the carrier's regional hub. Detail: how accurate is IP geolocation?
Can someone find my home address from my IP?
Not directly. The city level is approximate, and the ISP doesn't release subscriber identity without a court order. The risk is contextual — combined with browser fingerprinting and an account login, it becomes much easier. Read the threat model.
What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 is the original 32-bit address format (about 4.3 billion possible, exhausted in 2011). IPv6 uses 128 bits (effectively unlimited). Most networks now run both. Full comparison.
What does "proxy detected" or "VPN detected" mean?
The geolocation service flags IPs known to belong to commercial VPN providers, data centres, or anonymising relays. It's not perfect — residential VPNs and proxies often slip through. How streaming sites detect VPNs covers the same mechanics.
