If a log file contains IP address of user’s host the program determines user’s country using the IP to country geolocation database. If the log file contains already resolved IP address (domain name) the program determines country by the top-level domain. In most cases log files contain unresolved IP addresses. Determining country by IP using the geolocation database is more accurate than using domain names.
