Detecting your location…
What does my IP address reveal?
Every device connected to the internet is assigned an IP address by its internet service provider (ISP). This address can be used to determine your approximate location — typically accurate to city level — as well as your ISP and network type.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) replaces your real IP with one belonging to the VPN provider, masking your location and ISP. This tool checks whether your IP is flagged as a known VPN, proxy, or data centre address.
Your browser also shares information with every website you visit — including your operating system, screen size, timezone, and language. This data is often combined to "fingerprint" your device even without cookies. Browser fingerprinting can uniquely identify a device even after clearing cookies, because the combination of all these attributes is often unique to your specific device and configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can websites see my exact home address from my IP?
No. IP geolocation maps your IP address to an approximate location based on how your ISP has registered its IP ranges. The accuracy is typically city-level at best — often showing the ISP's routing hub rather than your home. Your street address is never exposed via your IP alone.
Does a VPN fully hide my identity online?
A VPN hides your IP address and encrypts your traffic from your ISP, but it doesn't make you fully anonymous. The VPN provider can see your traffic, your browser fingerprint still identifies your device, and you may be trackable via logged-in accounts (Google, Facebook, etc.) regardless of IP. A VPN is a useful privacy tool, but not a complete solution.
Why does my location show as a different city?
IP geolocation is based on registration data, not GPS. Your ISP may route traffic through a data centre in a different city from where you physically are, and that data centre's location is what gets reported. Mobile networks often show a major city rather than your actual location.
What is an ASN?
An Autonomous System Number (ASN) identifies a network on the internet — typically an ISP, a company, or a cloud provider. ASNs are used in internet routing to determine how traffic flows between networks. Your ASN tells you which organisation controls the IP block your address belongs to.
