"How Accurate Is Tracing an IP Address? Can You Really Find Someone's Location?"
Okay, so I’ve seen a ton of movies where they’re like *"we’re tracing an ip, we got their exact location!"* But like… is that even real?
From what I’ve read, tracing an ip can get you close—like city or ISP level—but pinpointing someone’s exact house? Nah, unless you’re law enforcement with extra tools.
Also, VPNs and proxies mess it up big time. You might end up thinking someone’s in Germany when they’re actually next door lol.
Anyone got real experience with this? How accurate is tracing an ip in practice? Or is it just hype?
(Also, pls don’t @ me if you’re gonna say "just ask the FBI" 😂)
