well currently my location is basically totally wrong.
from https://www.iplocation.net/ https://www.iplocation.net/ I've only seen one service that tracks my location 100% correct (correct village), all the others are 200 or more km away from my real location.
- XCSme 9y agoIt just depends on the database they are using. Anyway, nowadays it's getting harder and harder to detect accurate location from the IP address (many users are on 4G or behind a proxy).
- unclebucknasty 9y agoYeah, and features like Data Saver on mobile Chrome will quietly proxy your requests through Google servers. Not sure if G forwards the proper X-FORWARDED-FOR headers (or if all IP detection services read them).
- coderholic 9y agoYeah Google does, and we take the first public IP from x forwarded for, so we'll show your actual details in that case.
- martinald 9y agoYup, even other a lot of fixed broadband is moving to CG-NAT. I wonder if having an IPv6 version would work a lot better?
