2. Now visit several of the IP address locator sites below, and
enter that IP address into the search box to find which
country the site believes your IP address belongs to.

2.1 https://www.ip2location.com/free.asp
2.2 https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip-lookup
2.3 https://www.ipligence.com/geolocation
2.4 http://www.ipaddresslocation.org/
2.5 https://www.maxmind.com/en/home
2.6 http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_tracer/

Five of these six sites correctly identified that I am in
New Zealand. But one site thought I was in South Korea.

Four are in the correct county, one of them being only about 10 - 15 miles
from the centre of England; two are Warrington in the NW of England and one
is in The Hague!

The Hague!? You stole MY IP!

BTW, is the wrong one (The Hague) given by this one:

2.3 https://www.ipligence.com/geolocation

That one places me in Rome, which is not too bad! :-)

Yes, that's the one.
I get four in UK (where my ISP - PlusNet - presumably is; some of the
sites identified that) - three at Horsham, one somewhere else; 2.3 says
Durban, South Africa; and the last one repeatedly crashes my Firefox 27!
(It just sits there showing about 2/3 loaded; attempts to close that tab
don't do anything. I have to Task Manage it.) In Chrome, it shows
another UK location.
