You may notice that when you check your proxy’s IP address on different websites, they sometimes report different locations (especially the city). This is a normal and expected phenomenon in the geolocation industry.

​
Why Do Location Mismatches Happen?

There is no single, central database for IP geolocation. Every IP checking service (including us) subscribes to a data provider, such as MaxMind or DB-IP. These providers constantly update their databases, but they don’t all update at the same time. This can lead to temporary discrepancies:
  • Provider A might have updated its database yesterday, correctly identifying an IP as being in Berlin.
  • Provider B might be using a database from last week, which still lists that same IP as being in Munich.

What 2extract.com Guarantees

While the city-level accuracy can vary slightly, we guarantee the following:
  1. Country-Level Accuracy: When you request a proxy from a specific country (e.g., -country-de), the IP address will always belong to that country.
  2. Data Source: Our targeting is based on data from leading industry providers to ensure the highest possible accuracy.

How to Verify Your Location

If you need a consistent point of reference, we recommend using a well-regarded checker like IPinfo.io to verify the location of your IP address.
If you consistently receive IPs from a country different from the one you targeted, this is not a database issue. Please double-check your username parameters or contact our Support Team.
