A Zayed Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 For a specific IP address, the built-in GEOLocation service is indicating "UK" as user country. However if I used https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-demo (I think IPS use this service) or what ever location tool, it shows "Lithuania" as user country. Both are far away locations. Is this something wrong with IPS GEOlocation service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Jim M Posted October 29, 2022 Solution Share Posted October 29, 2022 We utilize the GeoLite Free Geolocation data. As mentioned by MaxMind, it can be imprecise. Their paid version, which is the demo there, is more precise but still imprecise in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Zayed Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 I'm testing with their free demo tool: https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-demo And it gives different country than what IPS give. Would you mind if I sent you IP address to test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
