How is an IP located?
IP geolocation queries databases that map IP address ranges to the area where each Internet provider uses them. We use MaxMind's GeoLite2 database.
Is the location accurate?
No. The country is usually right, but the city is approximate and often corresponds to the provider's facilities rather than the user's home. An IP never reveals a street address. If the connection goes through a VPN, a proxy or a mobile network, the location will be that of the exit server.
Private IPs
Private addresses (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x or fc00::/7 in IPv6) only make sense inside a local network and cannot be located. To find the public IP you use on the Internet, visit the Show my IP home page.
