MaxMind offers geolocation services that you can use offline on your own server for free, or through their API:

Answer 2

On some routers the firewall port 80 is blocked, ie at work, school, or at home. So by using a HTTPS or port 433 you can scan the security or anonymity of your location.

Answer 3

This company offers exactly what you are looking for, an API that works over HTTPS and for free (with some limitations when you use it for free though): http://www.IPAddressLabs.com
