# IP Location Does Not Match

Proxy location mismatches can sometimes occur due to outdated or inconsistent location databases.

## How We Determine Proxy Locations

Our system relies on IPinfo and IP2Location databases to determine the geographical location of proxy IPs. To verify the correct IP location of your proxy, you can check it directly on:[ https://ipinfo.io/what-is-my-ip](https://ipinfo.io/what-is-my-ip).

## Why Location Mismatches Happen?

Different databases may update at different intervals, leading to discrepancies in reported locations. If you use a third-party IP lookup service, it may show outdated or incorrect information.

### NOTE

Using databases outside of IPinfo or IP2Location may result in inaccurate location reports. Since we cannot guarantee the accuracy of third-party sources, please use them at your own discretion.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.9proxy.com/troubleshooting/ip-location-does-not-match.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
