The geo location service allows you to obtain visitor location data in your website through javascript functions and also display visitor location directly in your website.


​You can obtain/display visitor country, state/region, city, latitude, longitude IP address and browser language.

You also can access proxy variables via the setup, detect if a visitors are using a proxy, identify the visitor proxy type - VPN, hosting, proxy, tor, or relay, see the proxy provider name and leverage this data just like any other Geo Location variable

This data can then be used in your website's javascript or HTML to create customized location based features.
