Does IP geolocation reveal a physical location?
No. IP Geo is usually a database estimate of a network exit, registration region, or service node. It cannot confirm the precise location of a person, device, or server.
Why do lookup services show different cities?
They use different sources, refresh schedules, and calibration methods. City-level differences are especially common for CDNs, Anycast, mobile networks, and public DNS.
What are ASN and BGP data useful for?
An ASN identifies the autonomous system announcing or operating a network. BGP prefixes and relationships help explain address ranges, route announcements, and interconnection.
Does a domain lookup show the complete DNS answer?
No. The current flow resolves A / AAAA records and selects one returned address for the IP lookup. It does not show complete CNAME chains, historical DNS, or every answer variation.
