    Country location service

    Hi all,

    Anyone know of a good, reliable and fast web service (Free or paid) that can be called to determine a users country from their IP? I know there are lots out there looking for a recommendation based on experience or another trusted recommendation.

    Ta in advance.

        I use geoiplookup from Unix command line and I assumed it uses the above but not I'm not so sure! Works tho - fast, instant....

        It's useful for tracking scammers and shills on my Mate's dating website, which I do some (free) work for!
