What is IP Geolocation Accuracy? Why Coordinates Don't Show Your Street Address
Users frequently wonder why an IP lookup service places their marker several miles or even cities away from their physical residential location. Unlike GPS on smartphones, which computes position using satellite trilateration down to a 3-meter accuracy radius, IP geolocation relies on tabular BGP routing databases and Internet Service Provider (ISP) network topology.
Your residential modem routes all traffic to your ISP's nearest aggregation router (Broadband Network Gateway or BNG). The public IP belongs to this facility, placing your pin at the data center rather than your house.
Cellular LTE/5G carriers and modern fiber ISPs pool thousands of subscribers behind a single shared public IPv4 address block (RFC 6598: 100.64.0.0/10), so multiple cities may share the same WAN endpoint.
CDNs and modern VPNs announce the exact same IP address from hundreds of data centers globally. A lookup for a Cloudflare or Google DNS IP (1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) maps to whichever Anycast node is topologically closest to the querying client.
Private vs. Public IP Ranges: RFC 1918 & Reserved Network Allocations
Addresses reserved by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and IANA for internal subnets and diagnostics.
| RFC Standard | IP Range / CIDR Block | Usable Host Capacity | Intended Application & Scope | Routable on Internet? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RFC 1918 (Class A) | 10.0.0.0/8 | 16,777,214 hosts | Large enterprises, AWS/GCP VPCs, corporate VPNs | No (Filtered by ISPs) |
| RFC 1918 (Class B) | 172.16.0.0/12 | 1,048,574 hosts | Mid-sized data centers, Docker default bridge networks | No (Filtered by ISPs) |
| RFC 1918 (Class C) | 192.168.0.0/16 | 65,534 hosts (256 x /24) | Home Wi-Fi routers, SOHO switches, local IoT subnets | No (Filtered by ISPs) |
| RFC 6598 (CGNAT) | 100.64.0.0/10 | 4,194,302 hosts | ISP-level carrier network address translation | No (Transit internal) |
| RFC 3927 (Link-Local) | 169.254.0.0/16 | 65,534 hosts | APIPA auto-configuration when DHCP server is offline | No (Broadcast only) |
| RFC 1122 (Loopback) | 127.0.0.0/8 | 16,777,214 hosts | Internal host loopback interface (localhost) | No (Host internal) |
| Public WAN IP | All other IPv4 / IPv6 | 3.7 Billion IPv4 / 2^128 IPv6 | Globally accessible servers, websites, edge gateways | YES (Globally Routable) |
How WebRTC Discovers Local Network IPs & The RFC 8828 Privacy Standard
When WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) was introduced to browsers in 2011, it allowed two peers to establish low-latency video and audio streams directly without passing through a relay server. To do this, the browser gathers Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) candidates by binding to every physical network interface (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, VPN adapters).
Historically, this created a major privacy vulnerability known as the WebRTC Local IP Leak: any website could silently run a background JavaScript snippet without requesting microphone or camera permissions, harvesting the user's internal LAN subnet (192.168.1.45) and tracking them across incognito sessions or VPN connections.
To eliminate this leak, the IETF ratified RFC 8828 (WebRTC IP Address Handling Requirements). Modern browsers (Chrome 75+, Firefox 68+, Safari 13+) now generate randomized Multicast DNS (mDNS) UUID hostnames—such as 7cf24e69-12f8-4b71-9b16.local—shielding the true underlying IP from untrusted scripts while preserving peer-to-peer connectivity on local subnets.
