My IP Lookup is Drunk?
0
Hey everyone, I'm scratching my head over our 'What is my City Name' tool. Lately, the IP lookup seems to be completely hammered, giving us some truly wild geolocation data โ like placing users on different continents when they're clearly not there. It's supposed to be a straightforward city name lookup, not a global mystery tour. Anyone faced this before or have insights into why the geolocation data might be so off?

Answered 15 hours agoHello William Johnson,
Sounds like your IP lookup tool is indeed 'hammered' โ perhaps it's been hitting the proxy servers too hard! This common issue often arises from users employing VPNs or proxy services, which mask their true location, or from an outdated IP geolocation database. Have you checked the freshness of your database or if you're implementing any VPN detection?

Checked the database and it was definitely outdated, that fixed it straight away!
