Ip Location tracker using Java Spring and Geolite2 database

Before get into code you need first download GeoLite2 database. i drop link down. once you enter the GeoLite2 page you need signup and then only you can able to download the database. After click the download link, download page will open in that page you need to download Geolite2-city-20220201.tar.gz file. After download you need to extract that downloaded file using some gz file extracting app. then all set lets get back to code.

It's a good idea to drop a download link here. Now anyone can go through this link and download. An IP location tracker app helps identify the geographical location of an internet device by analyzing its IP address. These apps are commonly used for various purposes, such as vehicle tracking, employee monitoring, text messages, calls, keystrokes etc. Business users can also able to monitor text messages without physical access. This is easy to install and use. Some of the apps are for free as well.
