More context on the IP address page

The IP page now brings together network details, an OpenStreetMap view and a weather forecast for the estimated location.

The IP address page now offers more context about the connection a website sees. Alongside IPv4 or IPv6, you can load an approximate city, region, provider, network organisation, ASN and timezone.

The address comes first

You do not have to wait for a map or a weather service to see your IP. The page loads the connection address first. Location details are a separate request, and the OpenStreetMap view loads only when you choose to open it. This keeps the basic check useful on slower mobile connections.

A map with an honest label

The marker represents an estimate from an IP database. It is not your device's GPS position. A VPN, mobile gateway or provider network can place it in a different city. The page says this beside the location details rather than leaving the map to imply more precision than it has.

Weather for that area

The weather panel uses forecast data from MET Norway for the estimated coordinates. It shows the forecast time, temperature, humidity and wind when available. A failed weather request leaves the IP result usable, and missing data is labelled as unavailable.

If the location surprises you, read why your IP location may show another city. You can also use the IP in a reverse DNS lookup to check whether a hostname has been published for it. A hostname is another network clue, not proof of a person's location.
