·2026.10.29 09:00
Key point
The update enables city-level resolution for nearly all requests and refreshes data more frequently to account for IP range reassignments.
Details
- Vercel IP geolocation now resolves visitor locations with finer network granularity, providing city-level data for nearly all requests and postal-code data for 90% of traffic.
- Data is refreshed more often to keep up with IP range reassignments and routing changes, requiring no code or configuration changes for existing projects.
- Existing geolocation headers and the geolocation() helper in @vercel/functions return the same fields for Vercel Functions and Routing Middleware.
- Traffic from VPNs, hosting providers, and leased IP ranges may now resolve to a different city or country than before.
- Subnets announced from a hosting provider in a different country than their regional internet registry (RIR) record now resolve to the data center where the traffic actually terminates.
- Developers using geolocation for access controls, localization, or compliance should verify access rules against an IP's active network location rather than its static registry allocation.
