1. A system for delivering geofence information, comprising:
at least one device including a processor and a memory, wherein the at least one device is constructed and configured for communication with at least one server computer including at least one geofence database;
wherein the at least one geofence database includes data for Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and anchor IP addresses for geofences;
wherein the at least one device generates a first request comprising a geographic location and sends the first request to the at least one server computer;
wherein the at least one server computer converts the geographic location to an IP address;
wherein the at least one server computer matches the IP address to at least one anchor IP address;
wherein the at least one server computer identifies at least one geofence associated with the at least one anchor IP address;
wherein the at least one server computer creates a first response, wherein the first response includes information describing the at least one identified geofence;
wherein the at least one geofence database includes analytics for the at least one identified geofence, and wherein the analytics for the at least one identified geofence include a number of times a device has entered the at least one identified geofence; and
wherein the at least one geofence database is automatically updated at predetermined time intervals, wherein the automatically updating includes updating geofence ownership information and geofence license information.
