Why Check Your Location?
Finding your current location helps determine if your IP, VPN, or device is sharing your correct or intended geographic information. Useful for:
- Checking if your VPN is hiding your real location
- Making sure websites detect the correct U.S. state or region
- Debugging geolocation errors in browsers or U.S.-based apps
- Accessing content available only in the United States (e.g., streaming, services)
How We Detect Your Location
- IP Address Lookup: Based on your IP, we estimate your location using a geolocation database.
- Browser Geolocation API: If permitted, we use GPS, Wi-Fi, or mobile data for precise location.
Why U.S. Users Check Their Location
For users in the United States, checking your location is essential for:
- Making sure your VPN or proxy server appears as a valid U.S. location
- Verifying access to region-locked U.S. content and websites
- Ensuring your IP location aligns with U.S.-based streaming or shopping sites
- Fixing location-related service errors with U.S. carriers or ISPs
