Okay, so an IP adress doesn't give out ones true location, the IP adress stays at the ISP (internet service provider) and is only responsible for your connection between the ISP and your router so you can access the internet
if you were to trace an IP, you would simply get the location of your ISP, not your home
it would be a worldwide desaster if you could find out where someone lives at by just tracing the IP
in order to find out ones location you would need special permission to get access to the isp's customer database
another thing would be GPS tracking, but i dont think that the forums or graal itself recieves any gps data so one could find your definite location
if you care about your privacy and want to absolutely reduce the risks to 0%, you should have not published your location information somewhere accessible (facebook, other social media)
on your phone, you are always asked if you want to share your location with whatever service youre trying to access, you can always say no (except for police and other related fellows)
so if someone tried to get your location, he would most likely redirect you to a phishing website and request a GPS signal from your phone, which you then can say no to, but since most people are retarded anyway, they just click "accept" or "yes" or "i agree" on everything either way, just like the 90% of people that have never read a Terms of Service before because its just too long.

Simple solution, use a VPN, I'd recommend cyberghost personally.Okay, so an IP adress doesn't give out ones true location, the IP adress stays at the ISP (internet service provider) and is only responsible for your connection between the ISP and your router so you can access the internet

Yeah, I NEVER click "yes" for my location on apps or sites but I'm glad it's not easy to track me down because I was really scared. Now I won't worry nearly as much about online people finding me ^^ Thank you.Okay, so an IP adress doesn't give out ones true location, the IP adress stays at the ISP (internet service provider) and is only responsible for your connection between the ISP and your router so you can access the internet

Ehh, if they wanted to hurt me I don't think they would care about the law. But I'm glad they're not supposed to see my location.
I know you live somewhere in the world maybe even the universe!
