Routing data places this address inside AS15169, a network operated by Google LLC. Because it resolves to datacenter or hosting infrastructure, the geographic fix reflects where the network is registered — not where an end user sits. Traffic from this address typically originates from a server, VPN exit node, or proxy. Registry and routing signals resolve the address to United States, most likely near Mountain View, with low confidence.

Approximate network region only. IP geolocation cannot identify an individual, household, or street address.
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 AS15169? The autonomous system is the network that actually routes this address’s traffic — often more informative than the map pin. What is an ASN?
