Hey there! We are currently setting up unlicensed traffic monetization and evaluating potential tools. I'm curious about a specific technical detail: How does ReTarget Geo Popup detect visitors outside my licensed region? How exactly does the script determine a user's location right at the page load stage? Does it rely on IP analysis via an internal database, CDN headers, or browser APIs, and how long does this check take so the overlay doesn't slow down rendering for primary visitors?

Quick follow-up on that: how does the script handle VPNs or proxies? Is there any risk that legitimate visitors from a permitted region might accidentally trigger the Retarget.gg popup if their ISP misroutes their IP range?

Good to meet you! My team and I have already gone through this process on several projects, so I can share what we found. When we first deployed their script, I had the same concerns about load speed. In practice, location detection happens right at the CDN edge before the page even finishes rendering, so the delay is virtually nonexistent and users don't notice a thing. As for VPNs, the system cross-checks multiple network parameters rather than just the IP address, though public proxies can occasionally cause minor discrepancies with any tool. To skip the guesswork and understand all the technical nuances, I suggest checking out Retarget.gg, where the exact logic behind their geo-filters and integration setups is laid out clearly. Are you configuring these overlays solely to block restricted regions completely, or are you redirecting that traffic to alternative monetization offers right away?
