Accuracy & disclaimer
Last updated June 2026
IP geolocation is an estimate of where a network connects to the internet — not where a person is. We would rather tell you that plainly than pretend otherwise.
What the location actually means
An IP's location is the approximate, network-level point where it joins the internet. It is not a person, a household, or a street address. We show an accuracy radius on every result for exactly this reason.
Typical accuracy
- ›Country: usually correct (~95–99%).
- ›City / region: often off by tens of kilometres, sometimes much more.
- ›Mobile, carrier-grade NAT, and satellite connections: can be off by hundreds of kilometres.
- ›A VPN or proxy resolves to its exit node, not the user — by design.
Do not rely on it alone
Please don't use IP geolocation as the sole basis for any decision that affects a real person — fraud calls, access control, or anything legal or safety-related. It is one weak signal among many. YourTrace accepts no liability for decisions made on this estimate.
