Assessment

Confidence
███░░░░░░░  LOW
Probable Radius
~50 km (est.)
Address resolves to datacenter infrastructure. The geographic fix reflects network registration, not an end user’s physical position. Traffic from this address commonly originates from a server, VPN exit node, or proxy.
Geospatial Plot — Sunnyvale, US Confidence LOW
37.3688 / -122.0360
Approximate network region only. IP geolocation cannot identify an individual, household, or street address.

This address is announced by autonomous system AS394353, operated by B.Root-Server-OPS. The operator is a hosting or cloud provider, so treat the location as the network’s registration point rather than a person’s whereabouts; connections from ranges like this are commonly servers, VPNs, or proxies. Registry and routing signals resolve the address to United States, most likely near Sunnyvale, with low confidence.

About this result

Is this location exact? No. The coordinates mark the centre of a probable area roughly 50 km across derived from network registration and routing data. IP geolocation cannot identify an individual, household, or street address.

Why does the city look wrong? Providers route traffic through regional hubs, mobile carriers share one address across thousands of devices, and VPNs show the exit server. See how accurate IP geolocation really is.

What is AS394353? The autonomous system is the network that actually routes this address’s traffic — often more informative than the map pin. What is an ASN?
