Hard to tell here’s what I find out about my IP:

```plaintext
=> {:country=>"United States",
 :country_code=>"US",
 :region=>"Tennessee",
 :city=>"Nashville",
 :latitude=>36.1315,
 :longitude=>-86.8019,
 :location=>"Nashville, Tennessee, United States",
 :geoname_ids=>[6255149, 6252001, 4644585, 4662168],
 :asn=>7922,
 :organization=>"COMCAST-7922"}

```

There will be a bunch of ways that this could have false positives or negatives. Your best bet is some other solution to the problem that you’re solving with the redirect.
