Geolocation and IP Address Location
Before diving into the technical steps, it's essential to understand the difference between geolocation and location in the context of an IP address. Geolocation refers to the process of determining the physical location of a device or user based on information like GPS, Wi-Fi, or IP address. On the other hand, location in the context of an IP address generally refers to the estimated geographic region (city, country, latitude, and longitude) derived from the address itself.
IP-based geolocation is made possible by various databases that map IP addresses to geographical locations. These databases are often built from public records, user data, and other sources.
