ip2country_test.module in IP-based Determination of a Visitor's Country 8

Determination of user's Country based on IP.

This module uses the IP Address that a user is connected from to deduce the Country where the user is located. This method is not foolproof, because a user may connect through an anonymizing proxy, or may be in an unusual case, such as getting service from a neighboring country, or using an IP block leased from a company in another country. Additionally, users accessing a server on a local network may be using an IP that is not assigned to any country (e.g. 192.168.x.x).
