What is my IP location?
Every public IP address is allocated to a network in a particular region, so it can be mapped to an approximate geographic location — yours resolves to about Columbus, Ohio, US. This is how websites can guess your country to set language, currency, or content.
How accurate is IP geolocation?
IP-based location is an estimate, not GPS. It's typically accurate to the city or region level. The coordinates shown are usually the center of that area — not your home — and can be off by many kilometers, especially on mobile networks where one gateway serves a wide area.
Why is my location wrong?
- VPN / proxy: you'll appear in the VPN server's city.
- Mobile data: carriers route through regional gateways far from you.
- Stale databases: ISPs reassign IP blocks; databases lag behind.
