Abstract:

   Techniques that improve user privacy by hiding original client IP
   addresses, such as VPNs and proxies, have faced challenges with
   server that rely on IP addresses to determine client location.
   Maintaining a geographically relevant user experience requires large
   pools of IP addresses, which can be costly.  Additionally, users
   often receive inaccurate geolocation results because servers rely on
   geo-IP feeds that can be outdated.  To address these challenges, we
   can allow clients to actively send their network geolocation directly
   to the origin server via an HTTP Client Hint.  This approach will not
   only enhance geolocation accuracy and reduce IP costs, but it also
   gives clients more transparency regarding their perceived
   geolocation.
