Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is IP geolocation?

IP geolocation is generally accurate to the city level in about 50-80% of cases, and accurate to the country level over 95% of the time. Accuracy varies by region and ISP. Mobile IPs and VPN addresses tend to be less accurate. Enterprise and residential IPs usually geolocate more reliably than mobile carrier IPs. The data is updated regularly but may lag behind network changes.

Can I trace an IP address to a person?

An IP address alone cannot identify a specific person. It reveals approximate location, ISP, and network information, but not personal identity. Only the ISP can link an IP to a specific subscriber, and they typically require a legal request (such as a court order) to share that information. Shared networks, VPNs, and dynamic IP assignments further complicate any attempt to trace an IP to an individual.

What information does my IP reveal?

Your IP address reveals your approximate geographic location (city and country), your Internet Service Provider (ISP), your Autonomous System Number (ASN), your connection type, and your timezone. Websites you visit can see this information along with your browser details. Using a VPN hides your real IP and replaces this information with the VPN server's details.
