Yes. The server retrieves your IP address directly from your connection. There is no dependency on external APIs for this. If you are using a VPN or proxy, the IP of that server will be displayed instead.

GeoIP provides an approximate location estimated from the IP address and does not indicate an exact physical address. It is generally accurate at the country or city level, but may sometimes show the ISP's base location instead.

On mobile networks, the displayed location may differ significantly from your actual location.

This is a heuristic analysis that combines server-side HTTP headers (X-Forwarded-For, Via, etc.) with GeoIP database information. Please use it as a reference value. Connections from corporate networks may also be flagged as proxies.

HTTP headers are metadata sent by your browser when making a request to a web server. They include information such as the browser type, supported languages, and cache control directives.

When connecting through a proxy, additional headers like X-Forwarded-For and Via may appear.

No. The results are displayed on screen only and are not recorded on the server. While ip-api.com is used for GeoIP lookups, this site does not store any of your information.
