Why does Google say my IP address is different?
This happens because Google determines its users' location by cross-checking the location of where the IP address is with the geolocation data it has of devices that use that IP address.
Why is it showing different IP address?
That's because the IP address of “your” computer doesn't belong to your computer—it belongs to the network you're connected to. Your computer is just borrowing it for a while. That's why you'd have a different IP address at a coffee shop than the IP address you'd have at a hotel on the corner.
Why is Google showing my IP address?
IP addresses are used to make the connection between your device and the websites and services that you use. IP addresses are roughly based on geography. This means that any website that you use, including google.com, may get some information about your general area.
