How IP Geolocation Works

  1. Public Databases: Legitimate services use databases that map IP ranges to approximate locations
  2. ISP Information: Location is estimated based on the ISP's registration data
  3. Accuracy Limitations: Typically accurate to city-level at best
  4. Consent Required: Tracking individuals without consent is illegal in most jurisdictions
  5. Professional Use: Used by law enforcement, cybersecurity professionals, and network administrators
