Frequently asked questions

What is IP geolocation?

IP geolocation is the process of determining the approximate geographic location of a device based on its IP address. It maps the IP to a country, region, city, and sometimes postal code using databases maintained by regional internet registries and commercial providers.

How accurate is IP geolocation?

IP geolocation is typically accurate to the country level (95-99%) and city level (50-80%). Accuracy varies by region and ISP. Mobile IPs and VPN/proxy connections can reduce accuracy significantly. It should not be relied upon for precise physical locations.

What does the proxy/VPN flag mean?

The proxy/VPN flag indicates that the IP address is associated with a known proxy server, VPN service, or anonymizing network. Traffic from these IPs may not originate from the reported geographic location, as users route their connections through intermediary servers to mask their real IP.

What is an ASN (Autonomous System Number)?

An ASN is a unique identifier assigned to a network or group of IP prefixes managed by a single organization under a common routing policy. ISPs, cloud providers, and large enterprises each have one or more ASNs. The AS number helps identify which network operator controls a given IP address.
