Re:ChatGPT knows my IP geolocation

Based on my assumption, ChatGPT likely knows your IP address and deduces your location using IP geolocation technology, similar to ip2location.io. However, it probably does not use this information when querying its fine-tuned model. After it receives results from the model, it may reformat the response using your local context, which could include names of places.

Merchants can use FraudLabs Pro to screen orders and assess their fraud risk. To combat friendly fraud, merchants can blacklist customers to block them from making future purchases.

You can block traffic by AS effectively. In my case, I have seen a large number of crawlers from Tencent and Alibaba.
I signed up for the free AS database from IP2Location LITE and then blocked the ranges from those ASNs.

This is a very sad incident of carding attempts. You can sign up for FraudLabs Pro service and they have velocity check to prevent carding if it is from similiar browsers, IP or email addresses.

I agree that web scraping poses a significant security threat to the webmaster community. From my personal experience, I use the IP2Location.io API to detect residential proxy IP addresses in real time and block them from accessing my site."
Re:Satoshi leaked his Los Angeles IP address (2016)
on Thursday December 30, 2021 @11:59PM (#29745082)
I managed to get a copy of IP2Location DB3 database dated back in February 2009 release. This release should be good for IP addresses used in January 2009.
Based on the results of IP2Location, the location of Satoshi's IP address was in Los Angeles.
You can download the IP2Location database and query it locally. The IP address 68.164.57.219 is equal to IP decimal 1151613403.
"1151610368","1151617023","US","UNITED STATES","CALIFORNIA","LOS ANGELES"
