i've been wondering how do they detect that i came from philippines, US, canada, china, or korea...

they also can detect what city...

just an example is in [ip-address.#*$!...]

easy to detect what country (do a web search for country ip database), impossible to detect which city with any reliability unless everyone lives in the same city as their ISP.

Search for ip to location and you will find several free and paid databases which can do ip to country/city/isp/latitude,longitude etc lookup.
