About WhatIsmyCountry.com
The above information is gathered with the help of HTTP headers that your browser uses to connect to any website. Your IP address is guessed from these headers and whois information is then collected which shows which country the IP belongs to. If you are behind a proxy, the "HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR" header is used to obtain the IP address while any IPs belonging to private classes (e.g. 10.* or 192.168.*) are ignored. In the latter case, the IP displayed is that of your proxy or routing device.
