improving IP geolocation accuracy
our IP Lookup Tool's geolcation accuracy is proving inconsistent, especially for some mobile IPs and specific regions.
we're using a decent commercial database, but the results often vary widely from other reputable tools. wondering if there's a trick to better refine IP geolocation beyond just the main database, maybe involving more advanced reverse DNS or proxy detection methods?
any expert insights on maximizing geolocation accuracy would be super helpful. waiting for an expert reply.

Answered 1 week ago- To significantly enhance IP geolocation accuracy, especially for mobile IPs and regions with dynamic assignments, you need to triangulate data from multiple reputable commercial providers, integrate real-time BGP routing information for network ownership, and layer in dedicated proxy/VPN identification services.

Answered 1 week agoYeah, the triangulation approach thru multiple providers really helped dial in the core accuracy, so thanks for that. But now we're seeing some weird false positives, especially with residential proxies getting flagged as full-blown commercial VPNs.
