Geolocate an IP address to a location using latency
This tool is for all of you with a bunch of Globalping credits laying around
The recent ipinfo blog post inspired me to make a little tool that uses Globalping's probe network to run latency tests against any IP address and resolve it to a location.
It worked out pretty well so I wanted to share it with you https://github.com/jimaek/geolocation-tool
I also wrote an accompanying blog post if you have a few minutes to kill https://blog.globalping.io/we-have-ipinfo-at-home-or-how-to-geolocate-ips-in-your-cli-using-latency/
The tool itself is very simple, just install and run.
Important to note: There is no need to report accuracy issues, by default a limit of 50 probes per phase is set. This is enough for unauthenticated users to run the tool once, but not enough to provide accurate results. I recommend setting a limit of 250 probes for good accuracy.

Note: A limit of 50 offers worse results. For better accuracy it is
recommended to set a limit of at least 100 probes. The higher the limit
the higher the accuracy. Best results start at 250.

That is pretty cool. I m lov.
Wow, this looks great.
Thank you for sharing!
Any bulk option for a few million?
I mean its a question of having enough credits and time
The how is pretty easy
I feel this problem can be solved with a fewer number of probes via determining the intersection of circles instead of in this hierarchical way, but I have not thought about this problem enough. Neat tool!
Oh yeah for sure. I'm just not smart enough to do the maths so I brute forced it
finally i can use these
No provider is safe now, fake locations will be found and shamed
Now run this to geolocate all your IPs (with 250 servers per request as CLI suggest) and please report how many left
Guys @ some hosters you might think they will run a GlobalPing container or would spend one or more vps to support Globalping
Unlike my bank account, at least I'm in the black here.
ugh expensive, I need a few million per week.
Any volume discounts?
You trying to make an ipinfo competitor?
IPv9 support when?
Customers were casting doubts on our Antarctica location.
If
geolocateadds IPv9, the results can shut them up once and forever.Now someone offer this as a service xD
I do accept pull requests, the ball is in your court
Nice. This is useful.
