How can I get a custom country without querying it for other web services?

I need to develop a similar service (but different):

whatismyipaddress.com

iplocation.net

So how can I get the country of the users using their IP and without using external web services?

Try Geo IP Location . It uses a standalone database. But it won't be 100% accurate.

Well, you always need a third party, you may need to make a dictionary for the countries allocated to the IP ranges and check for each visit to its range. It will also be inaccurate 100%, but possibly 95%. The website that gives ip ranges starts at: https://www.countryipblocks.net/country_selection.php

Below are two free databases commonly used by developers.

IP2Location LITE

http://lite.ip2location.com

GeoLite2

http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/

Both are required attributes to use.
