    Visited on my mobile this morning while commuting and no VPN and it geo located me 1000 miles away.

    Visited again connected to a WiFi network and it got me right. Fun stuff

        Yep, it’s got both visits recorded. Idk why my ip on mobile networks was geolocated so far away.

          Thats pretty common for cellular data. Your IP is based on the exit of the mobile network, not the tower you connect with, but the data center of your provider. Which could be thousand of miles away
