Comment on Cloudflare is bad. Youre right.

Absolutely not, my IP has remained the same since I moved in, and a geoip lookup results in a coordinate less than a kilometer away.

I guess you live in a country with loads of spare IP addresses. Here in the UK they change every few days and IPs get rotated between all ISPs, so you can’t even deduct which ISP I’m using. And sometimes my IP is not even a mainland UK IP, but some weird shit from across the world, because Empire, lol.

@qaz @Aux now you’ve just exposed where you live not your ipaddress. Nobody would have thought it was that close now they do.

When looking up my static ip, the location I get is the one of my ISP, not my address. Do you happen to live nearby some central infrastructure of your ISP? (If it seems otherwise, I’m not trying to debunk what you said - I’m just asking curious questions!)

Yes, it seems to be a hit or a miss. I don’t think I live near any central infrastructure or ISP, especially not this specific part of the city.
