TonyC Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Hi, In the last couple of days, my location (before the VPN comes on), has been nowhere close to where I live. How would I get my location back? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyC Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 So why would the box say i'm about 200 miles south of where i actually am? Also has anyone else had issues with their ISP? (in UK). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in UK). maybe your isp/feed from your isp is not closer to you. here in Africa we have small companies and our isp is around 2 to 3 KM only around my area.

Emporium Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 ISPs sometimes buy some address ranges from other companies. And when they do, it can sometimes take a while for all the records to change over to reflect the new owners/locations. I know many years ago, my ISP at the time (here in Canada) had expanded rapidly and bought a few address ranges from another ISP south of the border (in the US). For about 6 months, if I checked my location, it always stated that I was in the US Took a few months before it was finally sorted out. Nothing I could do. Try going to the website below, and ensure to agree to location permission (if asked), and you will see quite a few details about your IP. Where it thinks it is located, the hostname, a proxy IP if ISP uses one (otherwise will be your IP), the ISP it is registered to, etc... And if you click on the [Details] next to IP location, it will show you the info provided by various database providers for the IP. https://www.iplocation.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
