So I was checking my IP and found this site showing my IP wrong. 

What is my IP address? Free IP lookup and check in the UK | IONOS by 1&1

Anyone else getting their IP wrong by this site?

Hi @legacy1 

Mine is also incorrect on that site.

I tested the link you posted  twice and the first time it showed an incorrect IP address although the ISP (VM) was correct, however it seems I have relocated 84 miles.

When I retested 5 minutes later it gave me a new IP address belonging to BT and a new location 340 miles away.

I entered the incorrect IP's details from the original link into https://whatismyipaddress.com/    which is the site I generally use as it allows allows me to update the location if it's incorrect, to check the info

Looks like they might be fixing it on one of the tries it shows my IP now guess someone setup routers doing NAT.
