    Absolutely not, the public IP a website sees is your home IP. The resolved location will be inaccurate by design, but the IP definitely identifies you at that time.

      What the website see is the current IP of the used ISP server in this moment. In the last check it was Madrid, several hundreds km from my real home. The public IP isn’t the same as my user IP, which only know my ISP and I (and the police by the ISP, if exist a court order). The public IP don’t show your real location, the website only can use your GPS data if you have it activated or if it appears in your account data (Google, Google Maps).

      depends on the isp, my router has its own adress on the iternet

      couple of friends have a different isp that layers it users behind multiple nats so half the city would show the same ip on a website
