The location of my IP is wrong on some websites

Every Hide My IP server is in the city and country shown in the apps. Some websites still show a different location.

Why this happens

Websites find your location with geo IP databases. These databases are often out of date. When we add a new server, some databases still show the old owner or country of the IP address for weeks.

Your browser can also tell websites where you are, separately from your IP:

• Location access. If you allowed a website to use your location, it sees your real location.
• Time zone. Websites can read the time zone of your device.

What you can do

• Check your IP and location on our What Is My IP page.
• Block location access for the website in your browser settings.
• In the browser extension for Chrome and Firefox, turn on Match HTML5 geolocation to server and Match timezone to server.
• Try another location in the same country.
