Hi there,
In the latest version (2.0) in Global Stats I see a lot of ip addresses but no GEO location.
And some ip addresses has a wrong country.
For example: 62.194.229.70 is seen as US, but it is a address in the Netherlands.

What can be the problem?

Thanks

Hi Jan,

mainly this should be due to system adopted for users geolocation, that is not based on IP address.
Geolocation based on IP address is too much inaccurate due to proxy, filtering, routing, hosting mask, etc

So the solution adopted to locate users is based on user agents HTTP headers. Of course also using this solution can be situations where browsers send spoof headers, so looking as belonging to a country also if located in somewhere else.

Having no data at all about geolocation could means that stats are referred to bots that are almost anonymous. If the Ip addresses belong to specific ranges they can be filtered out to avoid stats recording.

Eventually if you are most suited to use IP based geolocation i can try to add this additional modality.

Thanks John,

Most of our users are from Indonesia, but in the GEO location they come from England ( EN )and in the stats they come from the US.

United States 26 Indonesia 9 Not set 8 Not set 7

Maybe is it a good idea to look at this.

Thanks

Thanks for your report Jan, i'll try to introduce an additional layer for geolocation based on IP address.

Probably a double check could make it still more reliable.

I'll keep you updated in this forum.

John

Hi Jan,

an additional geolocation layer based on IP address has been added to latest version 2.0.1.

This ensure still more accuracy using a double factor, specially in your case.

You can install and update.

John
