Learn how IP addresses are mapped to physical cities
IP addresses are registered by ISPs with regional internet registries. These registrations contain mailing addresses and routing location hubs. Specialized geo-databases use proprietary algorithms to map IP address blocks to their respective router locations, mapping them directly to municipal boundaries.
Because city-level databases depend on ISP routing hubs, they display the city where the router node sits, which is almost always the user's nearest metro area.

City Geolocation is generally 70% to 80% accurate depending on the country and provider network. ISPs frequently update their route plans, meaning your IP block might route through a different data center next month, causing city readings to shift slightly. This is normal and is intended for routing optimization.
Geo City & Location FAQs
Common questions about city detection and IP databases
ISPs group web traffic through central routing hubs. If your ISP routes your connection through a hub in a neighboring city, the database will display that hub's city. This is why city detection shows nearby metro areas instead of your exact suburb.
Yes. IP Geolocation only identifies the general metropolitan area or city zip code. It cannot reveal your physical house number, street address, or name. Such detailed user data is protected by privacy laws and is only available to law enforcement via subpoenas served to ISPs.
Yes. When connected to a VPN, your traffic is routed through a VPN server elsewhere. The tool will display the city where that VPN server is physically located, successfully hiding your real city.
