Why does my IP location look wrong?
See the approximate location associated with your connection and understand why it can differ from where you are.

What does “not confirmed” mean?
A timeout, browser restriction, VPN setting or unavailable test endpoint can prevent confirmation. It does not prove that your network lacks IPv4 or IPv6. Refresh to try again or read the IPv4 and IPv6 guide.

My IP shows another city
Mobile carriers and internet providers can route connections through gateways in another city. A city estimate is not evidence that someone is using your connection. Compare the country and ISP or network provider first.
For a delivery address or nearby services, set your location directly in that service instead of relying on IP location.
My IP shows another country
Check whether a VPN, proxy, company network or privacy relay is active. These can change the address a website sees. If none applies, your provider may have reassigned an address range and the location database may not yet reflect it.
Contact the affected service or your provider with the incorrect result. IPNIXA cannot change other services’ location databases.
The location differs from my VPN server
A VPN server label and a geolocation database can disagree. Some providers use virtual locations. Check the provider’s explanation, then compare your connection before and after selecting another server.

That website may use an account setting, cookies, device location permissions or its own IP database. Review its location settings. Changing your IP does not necessarily change those other signals.
