What the IP Geolocation Lookup does
Accuracy varies enormously by level. Country is usually right; city often is not. IP geolocation works by mapping address blocks to registered locations, so a result can point at an ISP's regional hub rather than the actual user, and anyone on a VPN or mobile network may appear hundreds of miles away. Treat city-level results as indicative only.
