@Mods can you change the typo ¨geo-laction" in ¨geo-location".

Do you always want it to know where you live?? I use my iPhone for navigation but my PC's thinks I'm 70 miles away in Coventry I'm, not, which for me is great as I use a VPN always (there is the possibility that I am totally mad)

What's wrong is going to happen if my exact location is determined?

No but just wondering whether the geo-location inaccuracy is common for other members also (when ISP uses dynamic IP allocation). As long as your smart phone knows where you live, you are not ready for the elderly home yet, despite your state of mind

Nothing but a lot of people use a VPN to hide their geo location (and IP-address), but since many ISP's use dynamic (public) IP allocation, I a wondering whether this inaccuracy is common (that is why I don´t use a VPN at home)

I'm not being serious I don't really mind if 'they' (whoever they are) know where I live its just I now use a dedicated IP so I leave that on most of the time the main thing is Amazon who visit daily with goodies know where I live.

VPN off Google know my town not my exact location...

Using my ISP-provided dynamic IP address reveals my approximate location to websites (the city, but not pinpointing the neighborhood).

For this answer to your question you need to talk to cyber criminals about geo-location. I don't condone it but they have experience with avoiding detection and geo stuff.

One site I just looked on says: 'Your fingerprint is unique among 18,610 visitors in the last 30 days — sites can re-identify you across visits, even with a VPN' No wonder people are paranoid, my answer to that is i do not care !

I am asking you , a well known cyber citizen I don´t condemne it when you have experiene with avoiding detection and geo stuff.

Over 400 km, and that's fine by me.

Yeah I'm a space traveler from the planet Melmac. I'm currently some families garage. I also eat cats.

It depends on what your trying do or how you are avoiding geolocation. For geolocation it's best practice to use RDP and maybe SSH to fake geolocation.

Residential proxies also work very well, people who use bots for shopping like sneaker/bourbon drops use them extensively.

To get a better picture talk look into Kodai AIO & Cybersole (there are others) and how they defeat geolocation, capacthas & antibot detection etc.

Also you need to have the right user agent which can be done with software. But look towards people who's business and freedome depend on faking geostuff.

Back in the day a darkweb email provider had special bluetooth dongles that faked location data inserted into the servers it was hosted on.... Did that save them? No.

Again ask the experts, they will be happy to tell you if your interested in buying a subscriptions/credits.

I'll add you may be able to trick Nike, Amazon or eBay with proxies etc but a nation state who has control of the worlds undersea fiber cables *cough USA* will be able to locate you no matter what measures you take. Now the interesting thing now is how popup internet satellite Starlink type services/connection effect geolocation, can you spoof it or whoknows what counter measures you can employ? But recent history says you can't jam drones just by running fiber optic cable instead of using WiFi/satellite this is what Russia and Ukraine and Hezbollah are doing to defeat drone jamming by enemies.

I am locally know as barefoot Bill, so not much use for residenial proxies to buy sneakers I am afraid, but thanks for the explanation .
