Confirm which address was checked

Automatic detection shows the public IPv4 and IPv6 exits visible when the browser reaches this site. A manual lookup describes the entered address; it does not mean the browser is using that address for ChatGPT.

After a proxy reconnect or network switch, an older result is historical rather than current-exit evidence. Return to automatic detection and confirm that the displayed addresses still match the connection under test.

Location and ASN have different precision limits

IP location is an approximate result assembled from address datasets. Country results are generally more stable than subdivision, city, and coordinate results. IP geolocation cannot identify a specific household, person, or street, and mobile networks, VPNs, enterprise gateways, and regional scheduling reduce fine-grained precision further.

An ASN identifies the network announcing the route. Carriers, enterprises, cloud providers, and content networks can all operate ASNs. A difference between ASN registration country and IP location can reflect cross-region operation, anycast, address scheduling, or dataset differences; it does not establish data-center use by itself.

Needs review means the sources did not form a sufficiently clear result. If only the city differs while country, subdivision, and ASN agree, preserve the lower precision instead of promoting it to a country conflict or account-risk claim.

Read network profile and risk as separate layers

  • Confirm which IPv4 and IPv6 exits were detected and whether each check completed.
  • Compare country, subdivision, ASN, and network type as separate location, routing, and access attributes.
  • Keep proxy, VPN, Tor, and reputation hits in the risk layer instead of rewriting network type.
  • Read the evidence and deductions behind the environment score rather than interpreting the total alone.
  • Compare the result with the exact ChatGPT message and official status before leaving the network layer.

Read IPv4 and IPv6 separately

A device's IPv4 and IPv6 exits may have different ASNs, regions, and network profiles. If one path is available and the other is limited or unresolved, identify which path the browser is actually using instead of selecting the more favorable result.

Country, ASN, or proxy-routing differences deserve a dual-stack comparison. A WebRTC result is supporting evidence about a browser-observable path, not proof that ChatGPT used that candidate address.

Network results cannot replace account conclusions
