GeoIP - login and visitor countries

For every IP address that appears in your account, ePulz.io automatically assigns a country and shows it as a flag together with the name. This helps you tell at a glance where someone logged in to your account from. The country lookup runs locally from an offline database on our server - we do not send the IP address to third parties when detecting the country.

Where you see it

• Login history - for every login to your account you see the flag and country name.
• Incident records - for webhooks (automated notifications) and other events you instantly have context on where the request came from.

Accuracy

• Country: very high accuracy, this is the most reliable level of geolocation.
• City: intentionally not shown - for ordinary users it would only be a rough estimate with no practical value.
• VPN and Tor (anonymization networks): the country of the network exit node is shown, not the user's actual location.
• IPv6: fully supported, same as classic IPv4.

Why this is useful

• Unusual login country - if you normally log in from one country and suddenly see a login from another country, it is a clear signal to change your password and turn on two-factor authentication (2FA).
• Attacks from a specific region - in the login overview you quickly spot whether failed attempts are geographically concentrated and can react accordingly.
• Overview for GDPR - you can prove which countries access your account, which comes in handy during data protection audits.

Updating country data

We regularly refresh the country database so that it matches the current distribution of IP addresses around the world. The update runs automatically in the background, so you do not have to worry about anything. Looking up the country for a specific IP address takes a fraction of a millisecond and does not slow down any part of the application.
