Vercel says its IP geolocation service now provides city-level locations for nearly all requests and postal-code data for 90% of traffic. The change applies to all projects without code or configuration changes, and location data refreshes more frequently as IP assignments and routing change.

Existing headers and the geolocation helper retain the same fields. Some visitors, especially those using VPNs, hosting providers or leased IP ranges, will resolve to different cities or countries. Hosting subnets now resolve to where traffic physically terminates, which can change how location-based access rules apply.
