June 24, 20233 yr 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
June 25, 20233 yr Author 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).

(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.
June 25, 20233 yr 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/
