โ FAQ
Q. How accurate is the location?
A. It provides an approximate location, generally accurate to the city level but not a precise street address.
Q. Does it work with a VPN?
A. Yes, but it will show the VPN server's location rather than your actual location.
Q. Can I look up IPv6 addresses?
A. Yes, both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. Enter the IPv6 address in its colon-separated format.
Q. Is it dangerous if someone knows my IP?
A. A public IP alone isn't highly dangerous, but it can reveal your approximate location and ISP. Use a VPN if privacy is a concern.
Q. Is there a lookup rate limit?
A. Normal usage has no limit. Extremely frequent API calls may be rate-limited to prevent abuse.
