This software allows users to determine the country of origin of an IP address. With just a few clicks, users can identify where a website or other online content is located.
The module uses ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, and LACNIC whois to get the IP->Country mappings. For Win32 users, it is expected that the GeoIP.dat database file will be located in the /Program Files/GeoIP/ directory. If greater accuracy is required, MaxMind offers a Premium database that can be accessed through a paid subscription.
Overall, the Apache2::GeoIP module is a useful tool in identifying the country of origin for specific IP addresses. With easy access to updated databases and a premium option for greater accuracy, this software is a practical addition to any system.
