What the Fuck is this Called and How Do I get It?

[AustinP]

Ive been wondering about this. It maybe a newbie type of question, but I really need to know. When I surf for porn, they know where I am from. They keep telling me to meet girls from my locality. I know this works on some sort of a code or script or something but I dont know what to search for. Can someone help me with it? What the fuck is it called and how can I get it?

It is called "GeoIP" and tries to guess your location based on your IP adress.

Google for it, tons of scripts around.

It's pretty accurate most of the time unless using a proxy or something else that screws up your ip...

Can combine it with the Google maps api to get some pretty good results.

Yeah. Proxies are showing a few errors. But its cool. Im targeting dumbfucks around the world that have no idea what a proxy is.

I have a quick question about this, and this might be useful for OP as well, so I thought I'd just ask here instead of making a new thread. I'm using GeoLiteCity w/GeoIP, and I can easily get city and state using lookupLocation, but I can't get all the variables working. I found a resource that suggests that 'postalCode' should work, but I can't get it to output anything. Is this not supported, or am I just retarded and missed something obvious?

$location = $geo->lookupLocation($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$city = $location->city;
$state = $location->region;
$zip = $location->postalCode;

Since you're targeting dumbfucks, it's worth noting that people browsing through the AOL browser won't be able to be looked up correctly as they're passing through AOL's proxy.
