What Is IP Geolocation?
When you visit a website, your approximate location is estimated from your IP address. Databases map IP ranges to countries, cities, and regions — giving websites a rough idea of where you are without needing GPS or permissions.
This data is used for content localization, regional pricing, streaming restrictions, and fraud detection. It's not pinpoint-accurate, but it's usually close enough to identify your city or area.
What This Tool Shows
- City, region, and country
- Map with your approximate position
- Latitude and longitude coordinates
- ISP, timezone, and currency
Why This Matters
Checking your detected location is especially useful when testing a VPN or proxy. If the location shown doesn't match the server you're connected to, your real location may be leaking. You can also verify your IP address to see the full picture of what's exposed.
It's also helpful for understanding why certain content is blocked or why search results feel localized.
Privacy Note
Your approximate location is visible to every website through your IP address. GPS-based location requires your permission and is separate from IP geolocation. This tool shows you what's exposed. We don't store, track, or log any of your data.
