Questions about IP addresses, location estimates, and privacy

A public IP address is the address your internet connection presents to services on the internet. It may be shared by several devices or customers, depending on your network.

IPMora uses location headers supplied by its hosting infrastructure. The result is associated with the public IP address and does not use GPS, browser geolocation, or an external geolocation API.

IP-based location is an estimate and may show the location of your internet provider, VPN, proxy, or mobile network instead of your actual location.

IPMora does not store your IP address or location in an application database and does not keep a lookup history. The values are processed temporarily to render your result.

No. IPMora does not use cookies, advertising pixels, analytics, fingerprinting, or session recording.

The required request headers may not be present, especially during local development or behind some network configurations. IPMora does not invent missing values.

Yes. A VPN or proxy usually makes websites see the public IP address and approximate network location of that service rather than your regular connection.

IPv4 uses shorter numeric addresses, while IPv6 uses a larger hexadecimal address space. Your network and internet provider determine which version is visible for a request.
