dev-libs/geoip is a library to provide this functionality to your |
| 11 |
programs. I think this is what most people use. |

net-misc/whois will look up the owner of an IP netblock. You can read |
| 14 |
the address and make an educated guess. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
net-analyzer/traceroute will trace the path to the IP, usually hops |
| 17 |
near the destination have geographic names that you can infer the |
| 18 |
location from. |
