Common Issues & Solutions

⚠️ My location is showing incorrectly

This is normal! IP geolocation has inherent limitations:

  • City-level accuracy is typically 50-80%
  • VPNs and proxies will show their server location
  • Mobile networks often show less accurate locations
  • Corporate networks may route through different cities

Solution: This is expected behavior. For precise location needs, use device GPS instead of IP geolocation.

⚠️ The service isn't loading or showing errors

Try these steps:

  1. Refresh the page (Ctrl+F5 or Cmd+Shift+R)
  2. Clear your browser cache and cookies
  3. Try a different browser or incognito/private mode
  4. Check if you have ad blockers or security extensions that might interfere
  5. Ensure JavaScript is enabled in your browser

⚠️ Copy button isn't working

Solutions:

  • Make sure your browser supports the clipboard API (most modern browsers do)
  • Grant clipboard permissions if prompted
  • Try selecting the IP address text manually and using Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on Mac)
  • Use a different browser if the issue persists

⚠️ VPN/Proxy detection seems wrong

Understanding detection:

  • Detection isn't 100% accurate - some VPNs may not be detected
  • Corporate networks might be flagged as proxies
  • New or obscure VPN services might not be in our databases
  • Some legitimate services use proxy-like infrastructure
