Understanding the Results
What This Information Means
Your public IP is the network address websites actually see; the location and ISP come from public registration data associated with that address. Consider all results together rather than relying on just one.
Public IP
When your browser visits a website, the site typically uses your public IP to identify the network source. If the result changes after connecting a route, the page request is being sent through a new network exit. The copy button copies only the IP returned by this request; it does not add to or infer missing data.
Location
The location is the IP database's assessment of where the exit address is registered, not the device's physical location. After switching routes, use it to check whether the exit is in the intended region. Databases can lag behind current assignments, so assess city or regional discrepancies alongside the connection status and actual access results.
Internet Service Provider (ISP)
The ISP field identifies the network organization associated with the IP. A change in ISP before and after connecting usually corresponds to an exit change, but databases may use a carrier name, network organization, or autonomous system name. Different wording does not necessarily indicate a connection problem.
Proxy Detection
This field shows whether the GeoIP data source classifies the current exit as a proxy network. The result may change as records are updated and may vary because of shared exits, data-center networks, or route types. It is useful for troubleshooting, but does not mean a website will necessarily accept or reject the connection.
