Why do all online geolocation services drive such nonsense?

Why do all online location services show I get along?

We take the IP 87.251.76.100 (it has nothing to do with me, but I have a VPS from the same hoster). And we check on ipinfo.io, whatismyip.com and 2ip.ru.

And they all give different results!

ipinfo.io - sends me to the island nation of Belize :) I would like ... tropics, hot Latinos :)
whatismyip.com - shows two options - either Amsterdam or Moscow. Nothing difference, right?
2ip.ru - generally sends me to Novosibirsk! For what, eat?

If you believe RIPE, then this is still Amsterdam. The question is actually this - who to believe and what will the server "think" if I go to it from my VPS (I have it from the same hoster)?

All have different bases of IP addresses and bindings to the area, the owner. If your vps is from the same host, then it is not a fact that the IP address is from the same subnet.
If you go through your vps, then they will think that you are where the host is

ip geolocation (with v4 addresses) is already yesterday. All databases have long been outdated for geolocation services, the relevance of RIPE and that is a big question in many cases. At the beginning of the 2000s, it was possible to determine the location with an accuracy of the city, now 1 ip address can be in any city in the country.
