IP Geolocation
Whenever you connect to the Internet you get a unique identifier for you or your network, called an IP address. Usually ISPs (Internet Service Providers) have a certain range of IPs that they work with, and they can delegate different addresses to the different users as they connect.
The way the IP-based geolocation works is simply by checking which IP range is used by which area, using an IP-to-location database. So, you can find the information like the country and the city that your users come from, just by knowing their IP address. The IP-based geolocation however can’t be 100% precise, as it relies on an address that is usually being shuffled through a few users of a certain area.
