Got written about the PS4 of a stranger that he wants to kill my family tomorrow, etc. I do not take that seriously, just because he is Indonese and his grammar was garbage. Aufjedenfall he said he knows where I live, because he has found out my IP address. I would like to know, can one find out where I live, and only with the help of the IP address?
Blablabla, pfff, nä this is practically impossible except for a more or less meaningful radius.
comes to me Stuttgart, is about 170km next to it
Yes you can find out where someone lives based on the IP address, but this can't do any x-arbitrary person.
Your ISP (Internet Service Provider), who assigns you the IP address, knows your home address and knows which IP address he assigned to you. If there's an official request from e.g. Under certain conditions, the police may inform the ISP which residential address was assigned a specific IP address at the requested time.
Thanks, then I know.
I understand, thanks!
There are online tools to find out where an IP is coming from.
Sometimes the data is accurate to the house address, but usually not.
For me it is just under 400km next to it. (Headquarters of my ISP)
I understand, thanks!
But if he has your vpn he has your exact location
I do not have a VPN active.
This is just a troll who does not even know what a VPN is.
