Why is the IP country different from what I purchased?

Database lag problem

IP location information is not updated in real time, and different third-party databases (such as MaxMind, IP2Location, Whoer, IP138) have different data update frequencies.

Sometimes an ISP has just broadcast an IP to a new region, but the third-party database has not been updated, causing an error to appear. We guarantee the accuracy of physical locations. It is recommended to refer to ipinfo.io or ISP official broadcast information. If there is indeed a serious deviation (for example, if the IP purchased from the United States is displayed as Chinese), please contact customer service.
